Why not a book about a sassy young woman which comes around in a man-dominated world ? Meaning a whore.
I've never tried them because it's awkward but I'm srsly interested in the contents of these. Are they really as retarded as they seem ?

>> No.4458064

>>4456934
add
>>4457200


and: a book in which you read the premise and didn't want to read based on this

take out: a book that scares you (not everyone can become scared simply from reading)
a book with a blue cover (that is the most retarded shit ive ever heard)

1. theres copies of many of those books that could fall into different colours
2. those recommendations are fucking horrid

>> No.4458118

>>4458113
How are they horrid? How are any of Death and the Dervish, Breece D'J Pancake, Danilo Kis, Sadegh Hedayat, Lispector, Schulz, Capek, Walser, Borges, Celine, Ungar, Pessoa and Krasznahorkai horrid?

>> No.4458132

>>4458118
its not the recommendations that are too horrid, its how they are arranged. no concept of similarity. how are people supposed to know which ones they will like based upon what theyve read from the list

>> No.4458138

>>4458132
They're not, it's just supposed to be a silly, non-serious list of general recommendations, most of which are taken from the other charts.

None of the other lists are arranged in the way you're wanting either.

I've only read two books so far, so I'm off to a better start than I thought I'd be.

So is there a chance of a new sheet coming along?

I didn't make it, it has the Random House website on the bottom. If you want to edit and change the squares, go ahead.

Oh, woops. Let's try this again.
2013... that was easier than I thought it'd be. This would be a lot more difficult if duplicates weren't permitted (which I suppose may be the case... oh well).

I like how /lit/ considers "read 12 books by female authors" as challenging as "read 52 books in a single year" or "finish In Search of Lost Time"

Mix 'em around to your taste. Or make one yourself, it's not hard to make some boxes in Paint.
