/lit/'s new and improved book and writers poll. The Polling Anon Thu Oct 8 16:40:26 2015 No.7209673 [Reply] [Original]

It's me again, The Polling Anon.
I'm sorry for asking all of you to take so many polls, but this will be the final poll.

You are probably asking: "Wait? didn't I just participate in a poll?" and the answer is, yes you probably did but that poll was a complete failure due to the fact that I overestimated how many people frequented /lit/.
In the original poll you could only vote for one book and as of now 162 votes have been cast but the problem is that only 91 different books have been voted for. Which means that a big part of the books will have gotten on the list with just one vote. That means that the list would not properly represent /lit/'s taste.

So I have now made a new poll where everyone will not only vote for their favourite books but also their favourite writers. Everyone can now vote for 3 different books and 3 different writers. But you cannot vote for the same book or writer multiple times and remember to state the name of the author of the book to avoid confusion

I hope you will participate in this poll

Anonymous Thu Oct 8 17:45:42 2015 No.7209891

I wonder if this will underrepresent writers /lit/ loves on the "books" end - speaking personally I left Pynchon off my 3 favorite books because I thought putting him in the authors covered that. But now I'm thinking that was actually kind of inaccurate and I should have spent two of my slots on Gravity's Rainbow and Mason & Dixon.

I'm overthinking this and ultimately these things are just cool ways to discover new books but I wouldn't be surprised if the format results in some kind of bizarre stuff that's significantly different from past polls.

Are there really so few of us as that? About 150? That's so much lower than I imagined. In all the time I came here I always imagined I was contributing to anonymous mob, a writhing sea of idiots and geniuses in almost equal measure (and only on this board does that ratio even come to close to correct). But it turns out there never was a mob. It's just a handful of us. This isn't Times Square. It's the agora, the salon, the kaffeehaus.

Many good choices going on here. I would have done the poll minus the meme trilogy & just stuck them, the bible & Shakey in there own section. Bit of a waste of votes otherwise. It's actually really hard to chose 'best' books or authors - there're AT LEAST 100 worth reading...

but then it wouldn't be purple anymore

ultraviolet is a completely different color than purple, much the way green is different. don't let the fact that the word "violet" lies within its name fool you. if we could see it, it would be very much a different color.

I'm back from work. Here are the current results
>>7212010
For those who are wondering for how long the poll will be open, I say this: I will have it open for 2 weeks, but I'd rather a mod would tell us how many people frequent /lit/ because then we would know much of /lit/ has voted. If less than 50% of /lit/ vote then it wouldn't be a accurate list. My dream would be 80% participation. However if we don't get the data then the poll will be open for 2 weeks.

In my opinion he was and if you ask the Icelandic population the you will most likely get the same answer. Almost every Icelander over the age of 20 has read a book by him. He wrote about things that mattered a lot to Icelanders, so that's one of the reason he's so popular. He was also the only proper modern Icelandic writer, Icelandic writers nowadays only write shitty crime fiction.

What's your opinion on Independent People? Did you like it? He was notorious for not caring about grammar or spelling, so I'm wondering if that's properly translated

Well that anon is also a fan of shoe stories, so he's probably a footfag, meaning he has terrible taste. Also, he's not very observant, considering that most of the books being listed in the poll are from the 20th century and are thus quite modern. You are correct that Go Set a Watchman is not very good.

20th century are not contemporary. That's more what I meant. Books by living authors.

The only reason go set a watch man is on there us because its on of the VERY few new books I've read period.

I still liked the message and prose, it was good.

If I chose for 20th century there are tons I like.

yikes. of all the brilliant novels and short story collections of the 21st century those are the ones you pick?

also 2666 is getting it's due which is good. i get that Austerlitz and A Naked Singularity and In The Light Of What We Know won't be for everyone; and there hasn't been enough time, or the right novel for our paradigm, to entrench them as classics

Because i don't read many modern books as I said. I didn't think it brilliant, but thats precisely why I think we need a contemporary list.

I pick based on getting value from my money, and often times you have to choose someone with a track record than something new.
