Replace Eliot with a Harry Potter book and replace Dasia with Snowcrash.

>>13439375
oddly accurate chart

>>13439375
what makes these books onions?

What is The Waste Land doing here?

>>13439414
it's the most reddit poetry collection in existence, peak /soicore/

>>13439429

It's not a poetry collection. It's a high tory reactionary elegy for the decline of the West written by an atheist on the cusp of becoming a high tory reactionary anglo Catholic.

>>13439384
Harry Potter is too generic, any other book? Snowcrash is on point, though.

>>13439442
Catholicism is a onions religion. Ezra Pound on the other hand is based and redpilled not afraid to call out the jews. High tories are pure LARP, the real radical right in 20th century anglo politics were people like Pound, Lawrence or Mosley. Nietszche and Darwin, not Newman and Aquinas.

this makes absolutely no sense

did little OP get btfo'd by literary allusions?

>>13439442
Anything atheist is soicore by default.

What’s wrong with no longer human? I thought it was pretty good.

Any evidence that those books are soicore?

>>13439609
>come from patrician American family
Wow what an achievement.
>become a leading figure in the right wing avant garde
Oh yea, the legendary "right-wing avant-garde". How could I forget about it?
>try to save the West from suicide
Truly a brainlet. You can't avoid the inevitable collapse of the West.
>write some of the most exquisite lyric poetry in the English language
He was alright. Nothing truly exquisite.
>last real patriarch of serious right wing aesthetic thought
Cringe.

Achievement? What are you, some type of liberal who disbelieves in the importance of patrimony and thinks only what is self-done is worthy?

Cringe

Namedropped but unread you mean. Also I've never seen anyone talk about Beckett's Endgame ever.

>>13439853
I mean if you want to read some of the best works from the 20th century excluding Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and The Road, that's a really good chart.

>>13439853
I doubt they've read W&P, Ulysses, Brothers Karamazov and Infinite Jest.

All of these have appeared on the /lit/ top 100 chart at some point. Most of them are always on the /lit/ top 100.

>>13439928
It's sad that you took the time to order such a list, but okay. They're good books, anyhow.

>>13439928
How do we meme r/books into reading Guenon, Evola, and Spengler?

>>13439937
we don't. they'll read harry potter for the 20th time anyway.

Chantards are pretty pathetic. I'm not sure they get to look down their noses at basedboys.

Also the idea that consumption of onions products disrupts your endocrine system is a myth

>>13439375
Never read any of these besides ~80 pages of American Gods, which felt like I was reading Percy Jackson but written by an edgelord and without a continuous plot. I often hear praise for the handmaid's tale though, is it bad?

>>13439482
>calling out the jews is cool except when Christ did it

>>13439853
>House of Leaves
saw somebody reading it before, looked fucking retarded. Every other item on this list is just the most popular book of a renowned author, so of course they come up often

>>13439375

Why in the fuck is TS Eliot on this list. Why not put Rupi on there or some actual hack?

>>13439642
Embarrassing stretch little man.

>>13440537

>>13439375
How exactly is Eliot basedcore?

>>13441267

>>13439375
remove Eliot, replace with with Hitchhiker's Guide
remove Norwegian Wood, replace with 1Q84
>>13439853
HoL is never namedropped by tryhards, since only tryhards get filtered by it
>>13440579
you got filtered

>>13439639
cringe and bluepilled

>>13441286
Hitchhiker's Guide a funny story, nothing s o y about it

>>13441350
It’s a funny Pythonesque story, but it’s extremely overhyped by Reddit. Soi types tend to eat up the kind of quirkiness Hitchhiker has.

>>13439685
I'm surprised Ulysses is even on that list at all considering the source.

Not surprised that anything by Kafka or Beckett isn't.

>>13439408
Op doesn't like them

Norwegian Wood is peak comfy, call it onions if ya want but i will forever defend it.

>>13439384
Replace Eliot with Elliot (Rodger)

>>13439375
Replace The Wasteland with Leaves of Grass.
