seven picks out of 100 is enough for you to dismiss the whole list

obnoxious hipsters are the worst people, number one on the genocide list

There's a fair amount of writers I've read on this list, just not the works on the list. Still, it's quite shameful

>>8575114
To be fair that's a terrible list, most of these works rank from terrible to decent and have nothing to do on a Top 100.

44...this list is truly shit
7/10 of the top ten
someone ban mentioning the stranger from /lit/...no offense to it, but it's the first book everyone goes to to be like n--noo-no I'm not a total non-reading loser who didn't even do his hs reading, I'm reading the stranger!

What are the colours for?

>>8575157
Yeah, it's entry level as fuck. Doesn't mean it's not a great book though. I've read well over 200 books so far and it's still probably up there in my top 10.

I've read the stranger, the picture of dorian grey, the catcher in the rye, nineteen eighty four, siddhartha, the metamorphosis, the wasp factory, on this list. I've been trying to finish more of these books, but I guess I'm not that lit yet :(

Why target the Stranger in particular though? Gatsby, 1984, The Catcher in the Rye, Dorian Gray, Catch-22, Notes from Underground and a few others are just as entry-level.

i haven't read any of these

48/100. Forgot to mark hitchhiker's.
By the end of the year I'll probably have read East of Eden, Grapes of Wrath, Catcher, and Solitude as well so that'll put me up to somewhere like 52.

Sad days when I'm the most well read person on /lit/

Of these 100 books I haven't read a single one. lol

So.... you make a fucking list if your taste in literature is as superior as you seem to think it is.... ass.

>>8575270
even I am like 17/100, and I'm not lit in the slightest. What the fuck dude.

How can you be over the age of 20 and not have already read half of these?

>>8575397
i have more
>>8575030

>>8575479
thank God

>>8575477
Because it's not that great of a list? It's a weird combination of college lit 101 reading list and books where people only like them because of the movie but they don't want to admit it.

>>8574990
ive read 21 of these. So much trash on this list.

45. I'm pretty happy with that.

>>8575477
Half of that list is mediocre anglo stuff that isn't considered important in countries with a strong literary tradition.

33/100... more than I expected

The Great Gatsby was absolutrly awful, shouldn't have even been published.
Picture of Dorian Gray was great.

That includes Hitchhiker's guide, Harry Potter and the Hobbit though.

This is stuff that you don't need to be told to read, if you've been reading for some time you've already hit most of these without doing it intentionally.

Fucking horrible but a lot of the books on this list don't interest me at all so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

can someone tell me if lit has a discord server?

>implying I care about crossing off a memelist filled with shitty books as >>8574997 points out

>implying I want my reading to become a chore as I plod through /lit/s top 100

My book selection process is organic, intuitive and most importantly, enjoyable. I still have read a huge chunk of the /lit/ top 100, but that is a function of reading widely and often, not because I want to X-off a stupid list.

If you hang around for a few more months you'll see the threads where some industrious misguided turd decides to make a strawpoll or google doc vote to figure out """"""""""/lit/'s top 100"""""""""". Usually happens at around new years, then it gets posted to reddit and the top post on /lit/ for new next few days is people being disgusted with reddits opinion.

>Actual authors such as Orwell and Salinger playing second fiddle to David Fuckface Wallace and his book about wheelchair assassins, wives born without skulls and living happily with floppyface, years named after the Burger King whopper, purposely incorrect French phrases and a movie that you watch until you shit yourself and fucking die and the government trying to make a movie to counter that movie.

Why.

Why is this man so popular.

>>8576497
>getting mad about this
>missing the point
I'm not targeting the book, I'm targeting the number of idiots who hold it up like they're a real /lit/ boy now when they otherwise haven't read anything. It's an ok book, but it's not a place to end or something to brag about having read if you're older than 15.
