>138 voters
>100 books

>muh white male bias

Discarded.
>>
>>8237875
even we had 10000 votes I garuntee 90/100 books would be the same

yeah we're gonna water down our literature charts to accommodate a wider demographic, because that's our priority here on the /lit/erature board.

Good to see Infinite Jest on top

>garuntee
There have been some huge shifts in taste since this list was created, and there's quite a bit of fotm shit that wouldn't rank these days. Wasp Factory is a big example, nobody talks about that book on /lit/ anymore. And stuff like Journey to the End of the Night and Book of Disquiet used to be huge on this board but they're not as prominent to board culture these days.

Something wrong with my math?

It's not even math...

Piss-poor bait

Surprised to see brave new world with how much hate it gets
>>
>>8238537
something wrong with something besides my math? or are you calling my math not even math. if it's the latter i'm happy to walk you through it.
>>
>>8238550
I'm calling your approach not even math. You must be assuming people only voted for 1 book?
>>
>>8238562
how else would it possibly have worked? I assume people voted for their favorite book. I just noticed now that the chart from 2015 says they voted for three books, but there's no reason that I should have known.

>>8237956
>The Aeneid
>King Lear
>Ficciones
>The Lime Twig
>Petersberg
>>
>>8238576
I don't even recall having been there during that one and yet I knew, not because I read it on the picture, but because it would've been a stupid way to proceed. You reached that same intermediary conclusion and failed to proceed from it.

>>8238589
Ficciones can't not be on those lists.
>>
>>8238601
oops, it's on there
Beowulf, then
but you could name a million books more deserving than most of the titles in the bottom 8 rows
