if you want more than one pathway, just skip everything that comes before the second reading of Lolita

>>8416306
Is it okay to read Ada, or Ardor immediately after Lolita?

>>8416436
No, you could end up being arrested. It's better to follow the chart.

>>8416360
I´d include some Bolaño novellas too. Like Distant Star

Any Korean charts?

any one know of a chart relating to hinduism and india, id be very interested

>>8416301
Can someone who's only read around ten books start with "V."?

>>8417826
No. V can be more confusing than Gravity's Rainbow desu

>>8417841
That's a shame, oh well.

>>8418995
Check the wiki, you lazybones.

>>8416337
You can add them to it, anon. These charts are on the wiki, which is supposed to be a community effort.

The recs for the theater ones were made by a theater student fyi. I don't know if he's still around.

I'd love to see a chart for a nice plot through the main school of Existentialism. I'm kind of just picking up scattered pieces.

I still believe it is essential to read the letter he wrote to his father before anything else. Many of his fears that relate to his father can be found in his works.

Anyone got a chart to Russian Literature?

Missed the humor

>>8420636
>>8420642
Did terms like gold pill, green pill, bread pill, etc start around the same time a red pill? Or was the term red pill used first, and other "pillls" followed?

>>8421402
The chart is applicable to every author as well.

>>8416301
Colonialism-themed books do not interest me in the least. That's why I didn't like Heart of Darkness.

>>8421609
Every pill is a parody of the /pol/ 'red pill' (in case you don't know: it's a reference to the movie The Matrix). Ironically, the /pol/ 'red pill' most of the time only teaches racist ideology which only serves to further obscure reality, rather than bring about any sort of enlightenment. This means that the /pol/ red pill is itself a perversion of the original concept, a parody, making all other pills parodies of a parody.

It is a great example of a pervasive type of post-irony quite popular on 4chan.

Yeah fuck this chart dude. V isn't a good place to start. Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge are vastly different, BE is like a weaker version of the rest of his stuff and IV is like a mini-pynchon. Vineland is not his weakest at all, it's certainly way better than BE, and imo better than IV and AtD as well. The commentary is also pretty sparse. I'm no expert but I felt forced to make that other one specifically becase I hated this one and the other one that's been drifting around, where the person who made it said they didn't even read Vineland.

>>8417823
pale fire is a breeze desu

>>8421714
It's not even remotely a defining aspect of the novel. The guy who made the chart is just a lefty pseud who wanted to signal to fellow lefty pseuds that V. won't puncture the echochamber

>>8421673
What did he mean by this

improved somewhat

>>8422600
fuck you that's not what I meant
you're right, it's not totally defining, but it's a very overt serious political message of a kind that's uncommon in Pynchon's other work, which is why I mentioned it

>Caring this much about colonialism
Don't you have some liberal arts classes to attend?

Is there any chart or infographic such a starter kit for genre fiction plebs to become /lit/?

who?

>>8420645
why doesn't men without women get any love? it's his best work

Where's the sci-fi novella chart?

is there a comfy chart? Winesburg Ohio, Dubliners, etc

>>8423105
I'm not even talking about colonialism, I'm talking about whether or not the theme of colonialism in V. is significant. That's one example of the kind of thing we do in the study of literature, which is a totally different field than liberal arts, not that STEM fags like you can tell.

>>8416301
why do i get the feeling the author of this chart has only read the two first novels listed

>>8424698
Because you're a faggot.

>>8416298
Shit, you just reminded me to re-read Joe Orton's work, thanks. I'll start with A Prick Up Your Ears to get comfy with though, I reckon.

>>8417823
Nova Express isn't hard at all. If any Burroughs work is then it's probably Ticket That Exploded

>>8426570

>>8424698
this basically, the descriptions for M&D are so fucking retarded, shallow and inane

>>8426570

Any 21st century /lit/ chart?

>>8426503
Maybe when it was first published under the Penguin Deluxe series, but I think it's fine now.

>>8426570
the third one

Still hoping for a Korean chart.

>>8423652
Wish there was.
Cannery Row is maximum comfy, check it out if you haven't.

>>8421099
Good post

>>8428801
I've seen a Japanese, Chinese, and one that was a general Asian lit chart, but never a Korean one, unless it was one or two books on the Asian lit chart. That said you may just have to make your own.
>>8426544
Thank you for this.

>>8420651
no hardboiled wonderland? also books 1 & 2 of the rat, though 1 was shit anyway theyre only short and probably want shoehorning in somewhere at least

Anybody have that chart that starts with the Golden Bough and goes to Mircea Eliade after that?

>>8429540
Did it also have Jung and Campbell on it? If so I am looking for it as well.

Yep that's the one

Every category makes you feel like an asshole for even thinking about choosing to read from it. Has anyone ever fucking read Against the Day and lived to recall a single indication as to what it might have been about?

Jesu Christ don't lure people into reading Heaney's Beowulf. At least warn them. Also P&V for Dosto and Tolstoy?
This chart is trash but I think whoever follows this deserves to be misguided as it's obvious he didn't google shit.

Pseuds and contrarians bitch about P&V, actual Russian speakers tend to say it's best, or at least one of the better translations of a given work.

>>8431815
Not going to argue this again. This comes up every fucking day.
Use Google. That's it.

no, but there should be

Does anyone have an Italian literature one? I'm aware of their medieval poetry and political philosophy. I also got some ideas from their neorealism movement

can someone post an idea or genre, and i'll see if i can make something for it? i'm too drunk to think creatively right now.

>>8420634
i'm not camus' biggest fan (though he's far better than sartre, to be sure), but goddamn if this isn't one of the best-styled and accurate /lit/ flowcharts i've come across.

You really think you can't just pick a book and read it not following any kind of chart or something like that, don't you?

>>8416298

you know nothing about theater
why do you even bother posting a theater list
post a list of novels or poetry or philosophy or whatever

nothing by bernhard, fosse, strauss, no one
your contemporary plays are bullshit like mark ravenhill

do you even have an interest in theater
other than the fact that it is literature and you are a person who loves literature

>>8426471
>Musical Theatre
You can get out anytime
>B-but Threepenny Opera is on the list
It's a play with music.
