How the frick is the stranger that high anyways. It’s a good book yeah but to say it’s better than the brothers karamazov, Ulysses, moby fricking dick. Get out of here
I read The Stranger, I thought I'll like it... it's very immersive but I don't get the appeal, he went to swim together with a woman and didn't get laid by said woman, then stare out at window... that's when I just stopped reading.
>Infinite Jest, The Stranger, and e-girlta in the top 5 >The Odyssey is over 60 placings higher than The Iliad >Shakespeare doesn't even crack the top 20 >War & Peace is not in the top 10 >Paradise Lost in the bottom 3 >Count of Monte Cristo dead last
Are homies on this board high or do they just go out of their way to have the most pretentious taste possible?
I knew catch-22 was well thought of but surprised to see it lost so high. It's my favorite book. What do anons think? Book recs for someone who likes catch-22 and sci-fi?
Hard mode, no Vonnegut, I've read it all and it's good but pretty goddamn depressing. Catch-22 was funny, player piano made me want to kill myself.
the good soldier svejk, ferdydurke, lysistrata, journey to the end of the night, 100 years of solitude, a confederacy of dunces, candide…. the list could go on
Problem with this list is that it’s pointless to vote for books that have little chance to make the list. Not a single one I voted for made the 100, so I’ll use my votes to pad this time
Not an american, but a global superpower with an enormous population not constricted by the government's limitations is bound to create good literature, it's just statistics.

infinitely jestable is 1 and camus is 2
clearly some anons were answering honestly and some were shitposting
Found moby dick very turgid
That’s because you’re not very intelligent.
>reading a book for unironic homosexuals
>reading anything for homosexuals
>calling anyone else a moron

nice
I would have to agree with this anon

What am I missing?
Galaxy express digits, impressive.
It's about a man and his confrontation with reality, the man is very peculiar and that reality is very strongly repelling him. He has no escape.
It would appear you are missing chromosomes.
Easy intro to literature.

These get very few votes iirc. One or two votes can be the difference between bottom or middle of the chart.
>Shakespeare doesn't even crack the top 20
and that's a good thing
Any list with hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is a shit list one ought to immediately discard
>bible and mein kampf nowhere to be found
does anyone else remember when they were this bluepilled and clueless? i don't
that's your worst criticism of this list?

Wow, someone unironically read the sticky. Congrats, OP.
The sticky is very useful
Nice list.
>No Fear and Loathing
Shit list

>The Harry Potter series
>The Bible
why do these charts never have philosophy books?
they are all novels
Didn't expect to find 2 argentinian writers here.
>5 anglo books in the top 10
Lol, that's how you identify an american
Not an american, but a global superpower with an enormous population not constricted by the government's limitations is bound to create good literature, it's just statistics.
what are your picks then
do you not understand the concept of voting?
Would you guys recommend the Paradise Lost by Milton? It's one those really famous ones that I didn't bother to check.
