/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.860992]

Sup /lit/, first time posting on this board. I'm betting you guys probably have one of those lists of "Books Everyone Should Read" floating around here, right? On topics like culture, history, politics, economy, theology, science, et cetera...

Crossing my fingers here - anyone have such a list that they'd care to post?

no we only have fiction

[Anonymous No.861050]

But those are boring topics.

Unless done right of course.

/lit/ only cares about fiction and stories. Fantasy worlds to escape to like fat women who spend all afternoon watching soap operas.

These lists are still a work in progress, OP. Mostly because we can't get anyone to actually put recommendations together as a pic. The only nonfiction list floating out there are the 12 philosophy pics, I think.
