[Anonymous No.8386103]

I don't even know if 100 books have been released this year.

[Anonymous No.8386109]

It would be nice if people stopped voting for the fucking meme trilogy this time.

New readers and summers gon be mad at me for saying this, but imposing that all of last year's list be excluded would make it more interesting. A popularity contest will just yield more or less the same result with a few positions switched around and a couple flavor of the year books being replaced by new ones (Brief history, Ferrante, Gass locally, perhaps in time Jerusalem). Anyone who's a regular here can even call most of those changes well in advance. (eg Stoner, New Sun will take a small dip since the shilling has relented, Gaddis will finally have been read by some, usw)

I don't remember it exactly as its been a while but wasn't there something meta where Juliana realizes the reader and "our" parallel universe or something.

And that Tagomi (?) guy comes into our universe in San Francisco after being enlightened or some shit.

It's been a while and I didn't really like it desu

we did this before summer fag. like 2 months ago. it was just a shit list.

[Anonymous No.8386188]

>>8386152
why everyone acts like this list means anything beyond "BOOKS /lit/ LIKES" is totally beyond me

put a fucking disclaimer at the top that says

"HEY DIPSHITS, THIS ISN'T A DEFINITIVE LIST OF THE BEST BOOKS, THIS IS A LIST OF BOOKS /LIT/ LIKES, IN CASE THAT WASN'T ABUNDANTLY FUCKING CLEAR FROM THE FACT THAT WE ONLY POLLED /LIT/.

and yes, /lit/ really likes infinite jest. but there are loads of people out there who think IJ is a steaming load of incomprehensible shit. who's right? answer: nobody. welcome to subjective experience.

[Anonymous No.8386317]

>>8386091
