thanks, there's more on the wiki. kind of like the /mu/ essentials, pretty much anyone who is lit-minded can enjoy the /lit/core but some of the other stuff is hit and miss.

Who made this abortion? First of all, Ender's Game is on their twice even though it's no even essential literature. Also you have two books under contemperary, one of them being FUCKING ENDER'S GAME. You also have others on there twice. This list sucks ass.

Is there a way for possible categorization, I'd like to make a transition of media, and am generally looking for sci-fi and fantasy as major genres. Thanks.

I didn't make it, I just posted it. I do believe that the list on the /lit/ wiki page is quite a bit better.
