It's totally arbitrary. Why start at The Sun Also Rises? Well, because. Why read A Farewell to Arms next? Well, because, because.

There is nothing about Hemingway's novels that would preclude NOR favor any certain sequence of them. And that is a fact.

You guys should be ashamed for disseminating it.

>why's this chart so against 1Q84-- is it really that bad?

>Each apartment had a small balcony facing the emergency stairway, but all the patio doors were shut tight, the blinds or curtains closed. What kind of architect puts balconies on a building that stands nose-to-nose with an elevated expressway? No one would be hanging out their sheets to dry or lingering on the balcony with a gin and tonic to watch the evening rush-hour traffic. Still, on several balconies were stretched the seemingly obligatory nylon clotheslines, and one even had a garden chair and potted rubber plant. The rubber plant was ragged and faded, its leaves disintegrating and marked with brown dry spots. Aomame could not help feeling sorry for the plant. If she were ever reincarnated, let her not be reborn as such a miserable rubber plant!

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 28 22:29:34 2013 No.4316810 >>4316346 Not necessarily disagreeing with this but I just don't see the logic in placing If On A Winter's Night A Traveller so late in the chart; that was the book that really got me interested in Calvino and I imagine it's the same for most.

I'm the guy who made the flowcharts with black background. Nice to see my designs floating around here after a year and a half. In response to some of the comments in this thread, I hadn't read all the works for some of the authors, so I asked other /lit/ posters in the original thread to recommend an order and I would the design the chart. I lurk /lit/ pretty often so if you have any chart requests just ask. I plan on making a "how to get into philosophy" one once my winter break starts.
