Retard spent 5 hours counting by hand after already standardizing the names (could've been done in five minutes), alphabetized by author's FIRST name, and tarnished the whole thing by leaving sign-in turned off (intentionally) for the first several days of the poll

>>21424960
are you the guy that tried to make a fake top 100 because your spam got culled?

>>21425133
Nah, it's the guy that frequently asked for assistance on entering the links of the pages.

>and tarnished the whole thing by leaving sign-in turned off (intentionally) for the first several days of the poll
How else could people vote?

maybe just remove the meme votes like mein kempf from the list? you know most of those six votes for it were from the spammer anyway

>>21424939
This is not actually OP... once again, an impostor has made the thread.

no, it's the same tripcode

>>21425133

How do you excuse counting by hand? He wasted hours out of sheer incompetence. I middle schooler on excel could've done it in 1/10th of the time

>>21425147

>>21425185
Machines are satanic counting by hand is more good and safer than believing a narcissistic incompetent such as you.

>>21425208
you are justified in being upset at the inefficiency of my counting.
however, i have no regret in being thorough and manually counting the votes, since i caught some inconsistencies and errors which i would have missed otherwise.

i am using the same secure tripcode that i've been using from the start.

Do you even know how tripcodes work?

>>21425302
Only faggots know how tripcodes work.

Blue voters here should be filtered out of the poll. Imagine having such shitty taste. Red voters also have bad taste, but are such empty-minded effeminate out-of-shape fags that it's really hard to hold it against the.

I still can't believe The Bell Jar made it over Journey to the end of the night. We share a board either with retards or women.

>>21425653
Celine's incel pamphlet is just a poor man's Moravagine.

>>21425343
theres no need to show everyone how awful your taste is

>>21425653
Journey was fun for the 10% of the book when he was in the war. Everything else was really lame.

>>21425706
>Obviously Alcide was perfectly at ease, at home so to speak, in the higher regions, on terms of familiarity with the angels. You wouldn't have known it to look at him. With hardly a thought of what he was doing, he had consented to years of torture, to the crushing of his life in this torrid monotony for the sake of a little girl to whom he was vaguely related. Motivated by nothing but his good heart, he had set no conditions and asked nothing in return. To that little girl far away he was giving enough tenderness to make the whole world over, and he never showed it.
>Suddenly he fell asleep in the candlelight. After a while I got up to look at his face. He slept like everybody else. He looked quite ordinary. There ought to be some mark by which to distinguish good people from bad.
Journey is sublime from start to finish. It's such a cynical book, that only gets more bitter as it goes on, but then at times it hits you with passages like this one.

>managed to get the book I was shilling for a year decently high up on the list
Thanks for the votes, anons

>>21425706
Shit book. Only relevant because of its well-known imitations: Catch-22 and Tropic of Cancer (both of which are also mostly shit books)

Very close race for first

>>21427621

>>21428541
the column on the left is a list of every nomination, which i used for counting the votes.
i counted the votes manually and highlighted the nominations to keep track of which books i had counted.

>>21428541
>Stoner in the top ten
Not even Williams’s best novel (that’s Augustus), not even the best 60s American novel with an NYRB Classics reprint (that’s Wallant’s Tenants of Moonbloom), not even the best American novel of 1965 (that’s Jerzy Kosinski’s The Painted Bird)

>>21428579
Says you. Obviously many others disagree

>>21428586
And I used to agree, until I read the books I mentioned and many more

>>21428587
I’m ambivalent on Stoner, but it obviously strikes a chord with a lot of readers. My issue is more when an anon acts like an authority or judge. I wouldn’t have any issue if you said you like those others books more instead of saying they’re better. Taste is subjective after all and this board would be a better place if others realized that

>>21428571
>i counted the votes manually and highlighted the nominations to keep track of which books i had counted.
For what purpose?

>>21428598
I know man I was only trolling and pretending to be the typical /lit/ snob. Obviously I don’t actually feel that way and certainly wouldn’t say that to you irl, heck we have too little time with our lives to fling shit at one another really. Also I wouldn’t have got to the other books if not for Stoner so I’m still very much grateful for it and hope that that “chord” you mentioned really does strike as many anons as possible

>>21428613
Good to hear. I was just railing at the based/cringe dichotomy, which has been has been one of my many issues with this board in recent years; everything is either the greatest ever or the worst ever, there is no middle ground and everything has to be compared to something else. As far as Stoner goes I need to reread it. Sometimes when I think back on it, I find it depressing, other times inspiring. But all in all I think it does a fine job portraying the average life; there are few instances or circumstances that can define the course of a life, few moments where you get to really show your values in a meaningful way, and it shows that life is a combo of the good and the bad. I think it is a good gateway book as you’ve said.

bump

>>21428551
This is for 7 years

>>21428682
Stoner is, in my opinion, not an amazing book. If you like Stoner then you should check out Kokoro by Natsumi Soseki. Stoner is less depressing than Kokoro, but shares the same sentiment of a destined and passive manifest failure. I believe (or rather hope) Stoner was meant to cause dread inside of the lives of men very much like him. Less of a foreboding, and more of an impetus for change.

>>21429300
I read Kokoro some years back and memory of it has vaporized so it didn’t leave much of an impression. I remember liking it at the time. I’ve only read Stoner once and it was years ago; it is far from my favorite book. From memory, what I took away from it was a nuanced portrayal of an average man, filled with life’s ups and downs. For some reason Japanese literature doesn’t stick well with me. I enjoy it while reading but time isn’t kind to my recollection of it. Dazai, Abe, Endo, Tanizaki, Soseki have been like water through my fingers. Oddly enough I love and remember fondly The Wind Up Bird Chronicles, with no shame.

>>21429354
You should give Kawabata a try. Snow Country is a very memorable novel, and it's not too long

>>21429285
This one uses the fake 2020 list.

>>21429865
I forgot him and I have read Snow Country and can’t remember much except a couple trips to a spring resort. I think? I splurged a lot of Japanese literature for a few months. I should give them another chance. Maybe it was that few month period that is to blame. Sometimes you just aren’t in the right mindset for some books. A few of my favorites are ones I disliked on my first attempt. I’m really glad I gave them another chance. I do like Kawabata’s short stories though. They remind me of Hemingway’s vignettes, those 10 liners that are somewhere between a poem and a short story but convey a lot.

Gormenbros. We did it! And next year we will be even higher on the list.

>>21431066
I think we'll get even more votes next year since people now see that it's possible for it to actually be on the list

Yep. I was disappointed too to see Shitciones winning. I would pick all the others over it to be honest.

So you like your books the way you like your dicks.

100 Years of Solitude is peak YA RaNdOm XXD literature on the reading level of The Alchemist and you can't convince me otherwise. Any list with it included is shit.

But I'm not surprised after all the threads with people reporting they only read 0-10 books a year. These lists are just the few books people read, or books they think are good but haven't read. Stoner is a prime example of that. Mediocre book.

Anyone have a list of links for downloading epub or pdf's of fiction books, preferably reasonably up to date?
I tried pdfdrive but it's only self-help crap and I don't have the money to buy a new book every week

they're literally the ONLY books that get discussed here retard

>>21436461
>you're either a newfag or that fat, fucking. middle-aged, deluded janitor that won't shut the fuck up.
I have been lurking here for ages. All these books are mentioned here. Just because they don't get 100-page essays every day doesn't mean they're not read.
>I know. Every year its completely disingenuous. For what reason I do not know.
muh disingenuous. God, what a faggot word. Can't make an annual list these days without at least one whining faggot like you. What should we put instead to please Her Royal Highness? John Green and Brandon Sanderson? We've always read different books than other popular places. Deal with it.

>>21436479
I think that anon misread the OP. It says "top 100 books of all time" but he probably understood "100 most discussed books in the last 3 years" and that's why he's complaining that the most talked about books are not necessarily considered the best. I believe he considers that to be an inconsistency.
Hopefully he will realize that.

Hey, I'm not the one making it. The new thread is just the 2018 list edited

>>21435033
I agree with you that Stoner is overrated, but your take on 100 Years of Solitude is just downright stupid. You could say the same thing about almost every book considered postmodern or absurdist, including books you probably worship like Infinite Jest, Gravity’s Rainbow, etc. Try reading it again with a deeper understanding than surface-level.

How on earth are you not done with the list yet, OP? Are you going through genealogical records to make sure that all of the author names are historically correct? There's people posting fake lists because you're taking as long as humanly possible to finish this thing

>>21443027
Maybe OP went to bed

>I mean it's important literary work but top 1?
Yea, it's the most influential book of all time.

>>21444624
I think she even said she has to remove troll books from the list, and then doesn't remove mein kampf and my diary desu.

>>21444625
Isn't The Bible the most important piece of literature ever written?

>>21444107
>>21444647
How can this faggot not remove my diary desu?? Holy shit

>>21444107
I thought you were taking so long because you were choosing the best covers possible but I see that I was wrong after looking at that Hunger cover.

>>21444652
Idk, to have one list with meme books is funny, I guess, but for the 5th time it's just stupid. Maybe an official list will be different

>>21444647
this is a list of personal favorites, importance doesn’t matter

>>21444734
well, many people like the Bible, so what? that's far from a problem with this list.

>>21444738
nah, they’re just larping culture warriors, i’m reading the bible right now and it’s boring as all hell

>>21444754
have you taken into consideration that not all the people have the same experience as you?

>>21444643
>>21444647
The bible is important because it has long lasting impact on the world.
In a literary sense it's okay.
If you judge it strictly on its own, a lot of books in the list are better.
It all boils down to how most people vote though.
>Do you vote for the books you enjoy reading?
>Do you vote for ones that you consider important?
>Meme votes

>>21444107
how many have you read OP?

>>21444821
I've been informed OP sent you an answer via snail mail. Please be patient.

>>21444107
>Gormenghast higher than LOTR
Based and bloompilled. Now I know I'm on /lit/ and not bloody Reddit.
>sees The Bell Jar
Never mind.

>>21444763
nope, and i never will

>>21444926
then stop saying retarded shit

>>21444606
definitely a few more interesting picks on this one (Ferdydurke, Death of Virgil, Libra)

>>21444107
Well it's not the worst list we've had, I suppose. Still a reminder of how terrible this board is compared to pre-2016 though.

>>21444606
>>21444999
Seems interesting, yea. Can someone who has read most of it give some thoughts

>>21445079
>2014 /lit/ chart

>>21444107
where are the fucking names`?
are you people retarded or am I supposed to go off your favorite color bookcovers to figure out whats in the list, you book tuber sorting bookshelf according to color tier low lifes?

>>21445139
>Harry Potter
>Hitchhiker’s Guide
>Illuminatus trilogy
Lmao is this reddit’s list?

>>21445194
>here is an unfinished version of the chart, as a proof of work.

>>21445139
The Stranger second is a questionable choice.
>>21444606
Pretty solid. Probably better than this year. But it has some dumb choices too. I'm glad Kokoro made the top 100 this year.

>>21444606
Hey Epic of Gilgamesh, good job. That should be on the list.

>>21444107
>you will see the final version before the year ends
>it's going to take him multiple days to add author names in paint
but why? you have a bunch of people thinking a fake list is real and are dragging your feet to get this thing finished

>>21444107
>Atlas Shrugged

>>21444107
Gormenghast finally managing to beat LOTR is rather poetic, since it was the fantasy trilogy that overshadowed it back in the day

>>21444107
OP it's been 11 hours. Hurry up or I'll write the names myself in papyrus.

>>21445102
Sure. What do you want to know?

>>21445610
It still overshadows it

>>21444320
Anna Karenina was always the better work. War and peace gets memed because it's large.

>>21444390
have you tried discussing those books here? I've seen /tv/ discuss JR more than this board

>>21444107
Ive read 14 out of 100 out of the list , and have physical copies of 10 others that are on my backlog including count of monte cristo which i read like half of

>>21446141
Not on /lit/ in 2022

>>21444459
Tolstoy was the man, one of a kind.

>>21444107
On December 12th through to December 22nd, /lit/ was asked to submit 5 of their favourite texts to a form.
After thorough review, 1771 votes were counted across a total of 392 submissions.
Ties were broken with a poll which ran from December 23rd through to December 26th.

>>21445139
say what you will about the 2022 list in general, but at least the top 5 is much much better than the 2014 one

>>21444320
its a shame shit like stoner and nabokov and macarthy gets in the top 10 while Tolstoy has no top 10 spot

>>21446195
Tolstoy is garbage. He is too high if anything.

>>21446545
>Tolstoy is garbage
That's just a very sad opinion to see someone type out

>>21446555
Sad to someone nuthugging a writer dead for 110 years. Enough Christian trash is on the top 10. The good ones atleast (Dosto, Bible etc.).

>>21444107
>the bell jar
what the fuck is happening to this place

>>21446560
>look how edgy I am everyone!!

>>21446564
It's getting reddit'd.

>>21446566
Atleast shill the good christian literature, Christcuck. Not pontificating garbage like War and Peace lmao.

>>21444107
>Mein Kampf
>My diary desu
Didn't you say you filtered the meme replies? What is this shit?

>>21446571
how embarrassing for you

>>21446571
>war and peace
>garbage
Oh, so you're one of the many tourists on this board that don't actually like literature or reading. Well, carry on then....

>>21446610
7 years on the site kiddo.
>>21446604
Butthurt nigger lmao. Seething that Stoolstoy couldn't hack it in the big leagues. Cry and go make a thread on reddit to suck his dick

>>21445139
>2014 chart
Much better

>>21446700
if you're a Redditor, sure.

>>21446709
Literally made before Reddit found this place you newfag redditor.

>>21424939
>december 12th and up until december 22nd
a poll like this should be open for 3 months or so.
most people don't visit here daily or weekly, it's not a sports or pop music forum.
all you're getting with a 10-day poll is the opinions of diehards. not an ideal sample group.

>>21446700
No it's not. There are a lot of awful picks on that list. The Stranger has no business being #2 on anyone's top 100 list

>>21446741
r/4chan was created in 2011.

>>21446749
you're a true /lit/bro if you're not here every day

>>21446135
Just your general opinion of this list (2021). Do you think it's good?

>>21446815
Yeah

>>21444775

>>21446815
yes

>>21446564
More women, obviously.

does anyone have last years?

>>21446915
>The only religion is Christian

>>21444107
>said she'd remove meme answers
>I'm counting 15 meme answers

Read most of the books in the list, would say less than 20 are worthwhile. Would probably include 5-10 of them in a legit top 100.

>>21446564
/lit/ has a surprisingly high population of contrarian discord/twitter trannies who come here and post "fr fr rap is actually good" / "yall chuds should read more feminist literature" type threads out of spite

>>21447257
>people complain about the 2014 list being too Reddit
>people complain about the 2022 list being too Reddit

Must be so tiring to try to be contrarian in every choice you make.

>>21447253
what are some of your favorites not on that list?

>>21447278
>everyone is one person, and he sure is a mixed up mess of contradictions for some reason!

>>21446749
>all you're getting with a 10-day poll is the opinions of diehards
good

>>21446633
>7 years on the site kiddo.
literally an election tourist lmao

>>21444107
is this something other than a manipulated list of favorites of those who managed (to fairly easily hide) voting over and over?

>>21447329
it seems to check out, it includes MOST of the books that actually get sincerely discussed here

>>21447329
These are pretty much all of the books that are regularly discussed on the board. Even if some people voted multiple times, which is almost certainly the case, it's still an accurate representation of the books we like, sans a few meme votes like mein kampf

>>21447310
>trump became president 7 years ago
wtf

Why is this list considered reddit again? r/books list looks wildly different (for example, Harry Potter), and they explicitly admit that /lit/ has better taste.

>>21447381
/lit/'s 2014 list was VERY reddit. This year's list is less reddit (the bell jar).

>>21447389
ebin maymays like mein kampf is peak reddit

>>21446751
>The Stranger has no business being #2 on anyone's top 100 list
True. It should be #1

>>21444391
Kids vote for it

>>21446869

Nice

I've never used reddit. Maybe go be shocked about the morals of modern sOcIeTy on /pol/?

>you will never finish high school

>>21444391
i feel the same way about the stranger

Newfag moves all over the place.

bump for real thread

Where the hell is OP.
Why is the fake thread taking over.

>>21449565
fuck

oh we’re past bump limit

Holy hell OP, how are we past the bump limit and you're still not done. Voting ended 3 days ago. Please let someone else handle this next year, because you've turned it into an absolute disaster. I should have just taken the data and finished the damn thing myself 3 days ago. It's not that hard
