What is truly your favorite book that's not a meme? Basically

>>8310313
De Kapellekensbaan by Louis Paul Boon
>Belgian lit
It's certainly worth more than the Catcher in the friggin Rye.

That chart makes little sense for /lit/. I'm guessing that the sample size wasn't that large.

Does Calvin and Hobbes count?

>>8310380
It's from two years ago

>>8310413
Even so.

>>8310313
got a copy of the reddit list?

>>8310313
favorite not on this list is "The Diceman" by luke rhinehart

>>8310380
this anon is right, the sample size was really small, so the books towards the end only got like 4 or 5 votes

>>8310524
The thing is the same books make the chart every year just in different places

That's mostly what I'm referring to. Ulysses not at #1 or at least top 3 is just weird.

Salammbô by Gustave Flaubert

JR by Gaddis might be my favorite book I've read recently (hope Gaddis isn't a meme yet).

Riddley Walker

All quiet on the western front

barely anyone here has actually read ulysses

more people have read infinite jest than ulysses. probably by an order of magnitude.

He's just becoming one in the last 8 months

Ey yo fuck you i don't need to be some tryhard because Moby Dick is actually perfect

>>8310313
Not a book but Enchiridion is definitely my favourite text. TWAWAR ties with Ulysses, otherwise

>You have to like obscure books to have "individuality"

It is entirely possibly (and likely) that someone's genuine favorite book could be on this list of 100 books, most of which are loved by the general reading populous.

Watership Down or maybe Ada. Actually barely any of my favorite books are on that list, I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Musashi


>mfw whenever someone tells me the manga is better

Have you read Taiko? Equally great, but with more of a focus on politics

>>8311129
Not yet, but it's definitely on my list.

I didn't know The Crying of Lot 49 was written by DeLillo.
