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.

So that people can save them or find recommendations on topics they are interested in (or as OP want to read the established memebooks)
>>
>>7386148
Sure, but they're on the wiki. If you wanted to find something to read, you can browse them there. That's what it was made for.
>>
>>7386152
Are they?
>>
>>7386162
If any are missing, you could add them. Things like >>7386148 are next to worthless though, and are obviously made by someone who is not well-read on their own.

Oh right, didn't notice it in the sticky. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm reading Dune right now and almost done, really enjoying it. I plan to read Dune Messiah and lotr next. I will get stuck into this chart when I'm done with those.

>>7386132
To reinforce the groupthink and make sure that no one actually looks for books or recommendations using awards lists, goodreads algorithms, or highly regarded literary journals.

It has a lot of the same stuff but there are only like 16 books on it and its really a nicely done. I think Ligotti is on it too.

Although that is a really solid graphic content wise. Probably the best on here. /lit/ would benefit if alot of those books came up for constant discussion.

Albert Camus covers have Celine, Sabato and Krasznahorkai too? That's a good deal.

Whatcha looking for, anon?
>>
>>7386745
I just like this thread in general. I think someone was looking for something related to Camus.

Me personally? I like any images on various subsections of Asian lit as well as the 11 or so images surrounding intro to Philosophy.
>>
>>7386802
Since you're interested in the Asian lit ones, is there anything else you'd want to see there? Maybe something beyond national divisions?
>>
>>7386847
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.
