haha
>>7808143
tbqh all these /lit/-centric "/lit/ charts" are garbage. I've never heard /lit/ talk about half these books. "I Served The King Of England"? Please.
>>7808148
it says starter kit you total fucking idiot
>>7808143
I don´t think Invisible Cities should be there, otherwise I agree.
>>7809161
do you have something in between what op posted and what you just posted?
>>7808273
>hasn't heard of "I Served The King of England"
lurk more, reddit friend
>>7809230
This site is 18+, moron, nobody should be "starting" with OP's suggestions because they should have already read them as required high school lit
Anybody got the top 100 books chart?
>>7809278
Heard of it, never once heard it talked about here. That is actually exactly what I said; you should have read more carefully. Same goes for A River Runs Through It and All Quiet On The Western Front. Heard of both, obviously, but haven't seen them mentioned in a single thread even once on /lit/, and many of the others are tenuous.

Maybe they did what I did and used Sparknotes and had a hard-working friend who let them copy their notes/homework.
>>7809307
well desu, all this talk about it by you has led to me adding it to my 'to read' list. So thank you I guess... I hope I enjoy it
>>7809161
Probably retarded but what does exit-core mean?
>>7809292
It's on the wiki, as are most of the charts that will be posted if this thread gets traction.
>>7809404
There is no meaning. Some will claim it's books that make you depressed/consider suicide/deal with giving up on life, but if you actually have read the books on the list you know that's bullshit (the inclusion of The American Language, for example). Others will claim it's books that serve as the "final bosses" of literature, and that after you read them you can stop reading, but needless to say that concept is completely retarded. At the end of the day it's just a chart with a random smattering of books made by some anon.
fuck that thomas pynchon chart that excludes vineland, by the way
>>7809404
It's sort of two-fold in terms of meaning. Initially it meant as in "exiting life", so the material either relates to suicide, or is depressing enough to incite suicidal thoughts. In any case the first meaning is in relation to mood.
The second is a misinterpretation that the material in question is really difficult to read comprehend, e.g. the opposite of "entry-core" or entry level material.

No, go to the sticky faggot.
>>7809439
The Melancholy of Resistance
>>7809451
Why'd you post the old, inferior one?
>>7809404
once you've read those books, you've surpassed /lit/ and should do something better with your life
>>7808273
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Don't assert yourself as the gate keeper of all things literature.
>>7809277
That's not what exit-core means.

I only was required to read one of those in my high school career. Depending on the year (books were cycled), I could have read maybe up to three as mandatory reading.
Not every school requires all of these to be read. BNW, Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye are the only examples in this image that would likely be mandatory high school reading.
Does anyone have a Dostoevsky one?
>>7811332
If not, can someone who's more familiar with his works make one? I've only read 2 of his books.
