Hi Reddt. No one uses that chart. Use the big un.
>>7486680
I haven't read many of those books, and sure as hell I won't in any time soon.
Do people really FOLLOW /lit/'s charts?
>>7486680
Of those I've read American Psycho, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Do androids dream of electric sheep, and the picture of dorian grey.
I've also started lolita.
I'd rate:
1: PoDG
2: DADoES
4: AP
4: tAoHF
I prefer AP but I could buy an argument that Huck Finn is better written, so I've put them as tied.
The shitposting either got incredibly subtle or They have arrived.
8/20
1. Brave New World
2. TKAM
3. Catch-22
4. Slaughter House Five
5. The Catcher in the Rye
6. Farenheit 451
7. American Psycho
8. The Great Gatsby
I just started 1984 after watching Citizenfour. It's amazing how many parallels that book's government has with our actual government.

I'm working my way through, in a random order, right now I'm halfway through super karamazov bros, that "I am a cat" book is fucking expensive
>>7486868
Link? This is the starter pack so it's pretty basic. I'm just trying to get through the classics then I'll specialize a little.

On my phone sorry senpai

A buddy of mine has the sickest reading stats. Guy is hitting 75-80% Read Rate consistently on all infograph charts. It is unbelievable
i have like 70 -80% on all the general charts and some of the more niche ones.
im 20/20 on this one.
it's kind of depressing to know that most people arent getting 80%+ on the starter chart. not saying you should follow charts religiously but these are such basic works that any serious student of literature should read with only very few exceptions...

>any serious student of literature
I have no interest in the 'study' of literature. I'm not willing to do it as more than a hobby.
and btw, reading fiction hardly counts as studying

Brave New World
1984
The Great Gatsby
Lolita

To Kill a Mockingbird
Slaughter House Five
Fahrenheit 451
Lord of the Flies
Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep?
I'm about 70% through Of Mice and Men. Started A Clockwork Orange but didn't make it past the first chapter. Which one should I read next?
>>7486887
7/25
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Infinite Jest
Catch-22
The Great Gatsby
Lolita
The Catcher in the Rye
Slaughter House Five
Probably Faulkner or Kafka next. Or maybe Grapes of Wrath: how similar is that to East of Eden?
Of Mice & Men is an awful book and so is Gatsby.
>>7488284You're right.
Really good
Wilde, Ellison
Okay
Nabakov, Fitzgerald, Salinger
Okay
Burgess, Steinbeck, Hesse
Horrible
Twain, Golding
