Hey /lit/,

Where can I find a top books list based on user ratings?

i. e. like these
http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
http://rateyourmusic.com/customchart

Only for literature instead of mocies and music

>inb4 sticky, not the same as recommended reading
>>
goodreads?
>>
Those lists are shit and so are book ones
>>
>>8029590

Rym has Radiohead and Pink Floyd in the top 3 come the fuck on man get some actual taste

>Where can I find a top books list based on user ratings?

those ratings usually have the contemporary genre fiction at the very top

Holy shit, this is the lowest tier of effort ever excreted in any shit post I have ever seen barring tech questions on /g/.

Your inability to google or look at the wiki is beyond redeemable. I pray you're just a troll and aren't as retarded as this post makes you out to be.

Don't read
>>8031086
It's meaningless.
>>
>>8031086
Why would you post the older list?
>>
>>8031369
great criticisms here, pal. I'd rather trust 137 /lit/ posters than any number of plebs from an IMDb-tier site

It's a meaningless collection of the unrelated titles. Sure, let's mix a Greek epic poem with old English tales, a post-modern novel, some high fantasy, a slip of philosophy and the Bible. It makes so much sense.

>>8031679
Who said, at any point, that they needed to be related? Shawshank Redemption and Guardians of the Galaxy aren't related yet they're at the top of the IMDb list (I really hate that site if you can't tell)
>>
>>8031697
In the best way, it's a—bad—starter list. The ridiculousness of having 137 votes to elect 100 titles aside, I don't see the point of following the mediocre opinion of a bunch of people who constantly circlejerk on books I'm sure many haven't even read. How many threads are open with the Pynchon picture right now? How many times a week someone posts the fart letter of Joyce? This isn't a list of the 100 most popular books on /lit/, it's merely a list of which titles /lit/ have heard of. This list is hypocritical and silently suggests the names have been elected among a pool of discussed authors, whereas we never talked about another Existentialist French philosopher but Camus, nor a Greek poet but Homer, or a contemporary English writer besides the stupid Pynchon/Wallace/Joyce triumvirate. This picture stinks and should be shred.

Kill yourself, my man.

Donald Barthelme and Larry McCaffrey both have cool lists.
