Don't you guys think we should come up with an updated version of pic related.
"no"
No reason, nothing worthwhile has been published since that was made, no changes are needed.
>>7848332
Pic related was done too little ago.
>>7848337
Okay.
>>7848336
Okay.
what do all the Xs n Os do
>>7848301
We just did. One of our anons went to great lengths in recent months to produce an updated chart. Unsurprisingly, some have complained about it.
Imo there should be an open voting period announced LONG ahead of time so every Lit denizen can mark their calendar and participate on the promised day.
>>7848332
Fuck off back to imgur
>>7848404
It was open for three days, and then tie breakers took almost a week after that. if you didn't get to vote in any of that you're either a newfag or you don't go here often enough to deserve representation.
>>7848446
maybe there's more people now. people's tastes change as they read more. eat a cock you dick sucking nigger loving jew coveting peice of faggot ass shèeeeit
Mason and Dixon isn't even on it, how can it even qualify?
>>7848459
it is on it you fucking retard
>>7848404
>>7848453
Oh, I see you think you belong because you can use racial slurs when you post. That chart was made less than six fucking months ago. We will make a chart when it has been a year, so shut the fuck up.
>>7848301
why, so all the influxed redditors and crossboarders from r9k, tv, pol, and mu can fuck up the chart?
Do we really need to? I think /lit/ has great taste in classics! I'm happy I've read 40 in that list.
>>7848301
No, that's definitely a great list.
We should make it shorter (top 25 or top 50) since half of the books have like 2-3 votes. and also make our submissions be weighted.
>2 votes
i laugh every time.
pathetic board.
we need to find like 10-20 people who've read more than 50 books to each submit a top 100 and get a list that way. probably get a better list than this garbage where people just vote for whatever book they've happened to have read. this board is pathetically illiterate.
>>7848634
I can make you a list like that
>>7848634
shèeeeit I own 185 books. wtf is wrong with me. I've never counted before. I feel like I'm still missing so many books.
>>7848498
John Green uses "thesoundandthefury" as his name on Reddit
>>7848354
X's are shit, blue O's are OK, green O's are great
>>7848301
wait what the fuck this is mine.
>mfw OP saved this
>>7848439
A top 100 list where only the top 20 have >10 votes is garbage.
>>7849485
1. this is a small board faggot
2. those lists have always been about capturing the current taste of the board, not voting for some ""objective"" ranking of all authors of all times, which would be obvious if you weren't so mindbendingly dumb
>>7849494
I'm not asking for something """""objective"""""", but if you weren't such a raging retard you would realise that when you have such small numbers you don't capture the current taste of the board with any appreciable accuracy.
>>7848301
>all that anglo lit
kek desu
I would love to see Hilaire Belloc and Flannery O'Connor on the list. I'd change my relatively generic votes for the two. Also I'd prefer if it was a top 5 vote, but there's always 2017 for the next big poll.
>>7849503
yes you do
it's that small. or was, anyway.
>>7848439
>Stephen King higher than Homer, Dante, Salinger
Go fuck yourself
>>7848446
how the fuck did you not get hijacked by /b?
>>7849565
Yes we will need a new vote and remove certain trash authors. Or the one making the list will have to do so anyway.
yes, but it needs a mechanism to remove the general bias to contemporary and pleb writers
I don't see Atlas Shrugged though...
>>7848301
Is The Cantebury Tales listed because of its historic value or does it really stand alone?
>>7849716
It stands on its own, as in: most tales are entertaining or at least intriguing in how they went about discussing their theme at the time; but I can't tell you how they compare with the original stories (the Decameron, Petrarch, Ovid etc.). In those few cases where I was familiar with the original sources Chaucer's additions transformed the point of the stories entirely.
Post ALL of the 11 philosophy charts. General chart thread.
>>7849716
i think it's listed because it was two anon's favourite book when that poll was held
>>7851426
stop posting this in every thread you faggot
This chart was worse for the board than the piss bottle book tuber qt.
We should never do it again.
