Can we have a good conservative chart? The one that gets posted around here is memeshit
>>8159789
Arthurian, Horror, Tigers
>>8159847
lemme see that mexican.
Tried on /his/ and haven't had any luck so far, but this seems like the right thread to ask. Lately I've become really interested in cultural and technological development in the Old World, specifically during the stone and bronze ages. Or just the cradle of civilization, I guess. And I was hoping I could get some recommendations on reading material. Preferably things available for Kindle but it's not required. Thanks!
>>8159847
Thanks. Here's another tiger book.
>>8159797
>MFW all of my favorite authors are pleb tier
>>8159871
The chart means nothing.
>>8159857
Thanks.
>>8159807
You mean this one?
>>8159789
Mexican, Robert Anton Wilson please
>>8159883
This is the thread I've been looking for my whole life.
>>8159880
Can someone edit this chart so that racist and antisemitic are separately labeled? I'm not racist but I don't like Jews. I need literature that reaffirms my already held beliefs so that I may resist the temptations of the sultry Jewess but without going full retard.
>>8159490
lacking Teilhard de Chardin
>>8159880
Yeah, that one. Anti-semitism and libertarianism are /pol/shit and don't belong woth true conservatism
>>8159832
No Sir Gawain and the Green Knight?
>>8159832
>Arthurian
>posts Arthurian fantasy

Fuck
>>8160343
>no mentions of Cyrano under French
>>8159789
Chinese please?
>>8160333
What the hell is a "translation for serious scholars and academics" supposed to be? Surely you'd bother to learn Italian if you were studying Dante professionally?
>>8160476
thanks
A lot of the charts that get shared every time are on the wiki, just go there and stop making these same fucking threads.
>>8160490
Yeah and I don't understand why it calls the translation with the most "basic notes" the "scholar's Dante". I also don't know what "the modern Dante" even means.
>>8159789
Kafka
>>8159509
11/14.... shit
>>8159817
check the updated chart
>>8159871
>>8159875
it's actually good for spotting pleb authors but shit as it goes down
>>8160606
"The modern Dante" refers to the protagonist of the Devil May Cry series.
>>8159797
Anyone here read Rios's House of Ulysses? It sounds good from its description and Ulysses is definitely a favorite of mine.
>>8159490
Was hoping this would come up, thank you
>>8159789
Islam chart please
>>8159832
Any opinions on von Eschenbach's Parzival vs. de Troyes' Perceval?
I've only read the Parzival but I was under the impression that outside of German language circles Perceval was more read.
>>8160343
The Scarlet Letter under American?
>>8161047
Yes, that's exactly it. Eschenbach is more important in the German tradition and de Troyes in the Anglo-French tradition. Also, de Troyes came first and influenced Eschenbach, so there's that
Here are practically all charts I currently have:

>>8161310
thank you very much.
>>8156579
Are there any charts on Jungian stuff or Classical Behaviorism, i.e. stuff by Skinner?
Does anyone have any Buddhism charts?
>>8160333
I'm Italian. The Allen version is FUCKING terrible. Go with the third one
>>8161353
thanks sweetie
>>8161318
In this Very Life is a must read on meditation
>>8161353
Holy shit that chart is truly terrible.
Does anyone have a chart about "overcome depression" ?
>>8161751
It's called go to a doctor and talk to friends.
>>8161751
and exercise. Preferably cardio.
>>8159817
that's not canon
Someone needs to make a new Resume with the Romans chart.
>>8161362
I'm Italian too and the Allen version seems the less worse of the three
>>8159894
Do you guys not read the wiki? Like 95% of that thread is in the wiki.
>>8159789

>>8159490
Is there a more Protestant/Reformed version of this chart?
Inb4 Joel Osteen
>>8162113
The starter kit is honestly a great place to start (huehue). If you don't have any specific interests then I can't give you specialized recs. Although, I will warn you, if you desire to do anything more than just lurk here, then your personal, specific interests are pretty much irrelevant to that end.
>>8162534
I've seen both banded about. You are, however, technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct.
>>8162598
As usual
I used to read a lot when i was younger, but wasting time on teh interwebz gradually took over, and now i barely ever read. How do i get into reading again? i have a few books lying around that i am genuinely lusting to read, but don't because my brain is hardwired to to internet by now.
>>8162643
Step 1: Shut down computer.
Step 2: Pick up book.
Step 3: Read book.
>>8162643
Destroy the internet
>>8162043
Nice already read 6 out of those books and just wanted to make a thread searching for more books that fit my liking.
>>8162612
M-masaka! Bakana!
Who do I read once I finish with the Romans? Should I carry on with the Catholics or venture with the Vikings?
>>8162435
Thank you!
>>8162774
Have the Vikings written anything noteworthy? Serious question.
>>8162800
I saw a viking /lit/ chart in the past. Perhaps someone has it.
>>8159789
Horror, vikings, and meme Greeks please!
>>8162909
(Think there's at least three different Greek charts kicking around /lit/)

GET THE FUCK OUT
Is there a chart of Korean lit?
I read The Vegetarian but I don't know what else is good from Korea
>>8162915
I prefer this one.
how do you make a chart
>>8163145
MS Paint or other basic editing program and fetch covers from image search. Are you really that stupid?
>>8163157
What size should the chart and the font be?
>>8163044
I'm gona be living in Korea for a year so I'm interested in this as well.
>>8163019
kek what the fuck
>>8163199
Are you going to teach English?
>>8162043

jesus fucking christ, my sides have been sent away into a black hole where they no longer have causality with the universe
>>8163019
well done.
>>8162915
How long will it take me to read all of this, on average?
Is there a chart on Spanish literature?
>>8161918
Yeah that one's really shit. Someone make a decent one.
>>8162528
good answer
>>8163019
I had a notepad file of books about ancient Egypt with scientific and historical information about it, one of which proposed the idea of a pre-Egyptian society. Nothing stereotypical like ayy lmaos but just interesting stuff
if anyone knows of books about the subject, would love to know
Postmodern?
>>8166527
Just Foucault. Nothing else.
>>8161304
How long is The Metamorphosis? Want to branch away from English language lit but in the mood for something shorter, all the recent reads have been doorstoppers.
>>8162164
can you post the reactionary one?
>>8159514
You noticed the Pierre Bayard thread, huh?
>>8159797
Some of the level 0 is fucked. To say that they lack any semblance of substance is shit.

>>8166475
Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs: A Popular History of Ancient Egypt 2nd Revised, Updated ed. Edition by Barbara Mertz has an extremely comprehensive bibliography, and is a fine work to the laymen in any case.
>>8166913
Houellebecq, yanagihara and Harper Lee are all unredeemable shit.
Some good stuff in there though. On the Edge is an incredible novel.
>>8166997

>>8159509

Skip the Bell Jar and go for her poetry.
Personal ones: Lady Lazarus, Daddy.
>>8162250
second this. the 11 charts on philosophy are very helpful. Hard to find someone who actually has them all though.
>>8160476
Not exactly Chinese literature, but what do you guys think of "The Good Earth"?
>>8161315
What is your purpose behind this?
>>8167051
At this point, he has been translated so much that its hard to find a bad version. If you want some other non-english lit that is short, I would recommend some easy Japanese that you could pretty much read in one sitting. The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea or stuff by Banana Yoshimoto come to mind
>>8170389
>surrealist chart
>no Albion Moonlight
some good stuff on there though
>>8166475
>What is Atlantis
>>8171396
The first book is great.
>>8166599
That Man in the High Castle cover is the weirdest thing ever, wtf does it have to do with the book?
>>8159490
Lee Strobel is pretty gud. Even if you don't follow intelligent design, the amount of bullshit surrounding evolutionary theory and how it's taught is astounding
>>8159836
>King in Yellow
is that really horror though?
like there's some mentions of some horrific entity that might fuck you up if you read the play, but the last 30% of the book is a love story
>>8161318
DUDE
Anyone got a sci-fi chart? I'm looking into moving on after Dune (which was stellar)
>>8162043

Small time my friend
>>8161918
Polybius should really be up there with Livy considering Livy cribbed half his material from the former.
>>8162435
This list is so incredibly limited. One could create a recommend german /lit/ chart with over 200 works in it.
>>8159509

2/14 doesn't seem so bad.
>>8174006
Object spinner here.
It's just one of those things, man. You get it or you don't.
>>8175326

I argue about Mythology - Hamilton being first without an asterisk note.
It is a textbook rather than any sort of literature. It is a a great place to start your knowledge, but basically an encyclopedia.
Keep it next to you and read the specific chapters related to the other Greek work you're reading at the time.
