How does /lit/ feel about "the" list?

Too heavy on Faulkner, in my opinion.
>>
>>8267735
Too much Pynchon, Infinite Jets shouldn't be number 1.

>Moby Dick.

Into the trash it goes.

>>8267735
Don't touch it until summer is over.

You take that back right now

No such thing as too much Faulkner.

What the fuck are you talking about? He's not even in the top 30.

no such thing as "" 'the' list "" newfag

I know this is bait but fuck you you fuck pleb ass

What happened to that second favorites 100 list that we discouraged two people out of making?
>>
Too fucking long
100 books
numbers 69-91 have 3 votes, 92-100 have 2 votes
just cut that shit out
make a top 50 or top ten
>>
If I read all of these books, will I become well-read?
>>
>>8267735
only faggots participate in the making of such charts
and the non-faggots have been proven right, because top lists are ripe for posting elsewhere, raking in further faggots
type/country lists are fine as they save us repetitive threads, toplists are mere faggotbait
>>
>>8267743
Infinite Jest shouldn't be on any list of top 100 books.
>>
>>8268825
You will become well-memed.
>>
>DFW
>McCarthy
>Vonnegut
>Dazai
>Tolkien
>Conrad
>Murakami
>Bradbury
>BEE
>Herbert
>Ishiguro
>Nietzsche

I fucking vomited, awful, awful list.

making good progress

Do you think anyone on /lit/ has read In Search of Lost Time?
>>
>>8269569
I have. It was only three volumes.
>>
As usual, now that reddit loves something 4chan came up with, it's considered trash around here. The list is ok, you just want to feel special again. It's not about the books, it's about you.
>>
>>8269576
is that a joke about finding lost time by not losing it reading the rest in the first place? because that'd be a hairpull

Vintage has it in three volumes.
>>
>>8269569
I was just thinking this. I'm reading it now and I hardly see any talk about it here and didn't see it in this list. I don't think many people have read it, given its length maybe.

>american "literature"

into the trash it goes

>>8268700
We discouraged them out of making it.
