Is there something like pic related for literature? A chart or reference for people who are relatively new to it with absolute essentials across multiple genres?

The /lit/ starter kit in the sticky is the go-to for people wanting to get into literature.

Note that if you're going to look at it and think, "What the hell are with these old boring clasics?" then just look elsewhere and pick anything else that you're interested in reading. The starter kit is made of easily interpretable books for you to hone your literary analysis skills. If you want to read just for the sake of "getting into a good story," than just pick anything popular that was adapted into a movie or something.

Not that I'm just being a snob ranting against the plebs, I just don't want you to waste your time reading something you won't get and then complaining to us about our precious /lit/erature.

Well considering the only ones I ever see posted are just for Jlit and Chinese lit perhaps large one for the other Asian countries such as Vietnam, Korea, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Laos, Malyasia, Cambodia? (And any other nations I may have forgot for that matter). I'd love to see what their history has to offer for Asian lit as well as any modern works that might be produced by authors from within these nations.

I had to participate in one of his debates when I was in college and he did quite poorly. Came off as very close minded and unable to structure his arguments.

Is he better in print? I only ask because I've read the majority of the stuff on that chart and I agree with almost all of it being good.

I've not read Craig, Strobel, Eliot, and some(ok, most) of the fiction.
