Coming across /lit/'s favourite books, I was wondering what method was used to compile all that data.
I would be very interested to see similar charts regarding favourite poets/poems/short stories.etc
I can't believe The Stranger makes it to the top 20 every year. Its so fucking overrated.
It has literally three pages of profound subject matter. The rest of the book is a poorly written high school tier story about some loser who thinks everything is pointless.

Yelling at each other.

The old fashioned way. I guess I have a lot of brute work to do.
>>9174059
J R better be higher on the list for 2017 you stupid fucks

I think what would be an interesting addition to the list would be that when voting for your top 5 favourites, you can give one vote to an overrated book and drop it down by one vote.

The method is literally described at the top of the list
If you need to be more technical than that it was, shocker, a google doc requiring a google account

Are you assuming that I am literate! Gosh!
Aside from books, has /lit/ done any other of these compilations?
>>9174114
you can complain about the order but it's a pretty damned good list from random 20somethings on the internet

Agreed. I think one for short stories would be in order at least, not so sure about poetry because most of /lit/ almost exclusively reads prose

so funny vonnegut makes it on. we really need to fix that.
>>9174059
The list is complete shit.

Seems like something plebbit would do.
