For being a book aimed at 13 y/o, hunger games is very good. The same applies to Harry Potter, Twilight, not very much, it just relies on its premise.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a very good book if you aren't familiar with the wealth of Western literature.

Pride and Prejudice is far too heavy on dialogue for a novel, but it's still a funny work, easily on par with Vanity Fair.

No, but they said they were cringe worthy, which really isn't the case, since they are ratings of books the raters have actually read. Whereas /lit/ touts books or philosophers that many posters haven't read more than Wiki. If /lit/ was limited to rating books they've actually read, it would be something like The Stranger, The Metamorphosis, Lolita, Blood Meridian, and 1984. Which aren't particular bad books, the middle three being masterpieces, but when you realize the person hasn't moved past but for Wikipedia, it is even more cringeworthy than people who actually read a lot of pleb and children's fiction

The list is "Best books ever written", not "best books I've ever read." Therefore it's a list that includes EVERY BOOK EVER WRITTEN, not just the ones the individual ever read.
If an individual has only read hunger games, twilight, and Harry potter, (which is in itself something to cringe about) they're a fucking moron for thinking that those might be the best books ever written if they know that other books have been written. It's cringeworthy.

You're an idiot. Muh subjectivism

>> No.5713897

>>5713875
I don't defend that in itself, my choices wouldn't include any of these. What I do defend is making your choices of the best works ever from works which you have actually read. They might not be even close to 'the best works ever', but hardly anyone aside from Harold Bloom is is widely read enough to make that call in any sense worthy of recognition or expertise. So 'best books ever' just means the books you found the greatest, even the phrasing of the question makes it clear it does not aspire to be more, else it would be phrased something like 'greatest works of literature', not 'best books EVAR'

But they don't know how good they are, you could never answer the question if you had to take into account all books ever written, because you can't have read them all. Practically it's a book of favorite books, and everyone with any intelligence realises this.
