Heard of it, never once heard it talked about here. That is actually exactly what I said; you should have read more carefully. Same goes for A River Runs Through It and All Quiet On The Western Front. Heard of both, obviously, but haven't seen them mentioned in a single thread even once on /lit/, and many of the others are tenuous.

It's on the wiki, as are most of the charts that will be posted if this thread gets traction.
>>7809404
There is no meaning. Some will claim it's books that make you depressed/consider suicide/deal with giving up on life, but if you actually have read the books on the list you know that's bullshit (the inclusion of The American Language, for example). Others will claim it's books that serve as the "final bosses" of literature, and that after you read them you can stop reading, but needless to say that concept is completely retarded. At the end of the day it's just a chart with a random smattering of books made by some anon.

It's sort of two-fold in terms of meaning. Initially it meant as in "exiting life", so the material either relates to suicide, or is depressing enough to incite suicidal thoughts. In any case the first meaning is in relation to mood.

The second is a misinterpretation that the material in question is really difficult to read comprehend, e.g. the opposite of "entry-core" or entry level material.

I only was required to read one of those in my high school career. Depending on the year (books were cycled), I could have read maybe up to three as mandatory reading.

Not every school requires all of these to be read. BNW, Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye are the only examples in this image that would likely be mandatory high school reading.
