Why is Shakespeare on there?

There was a poll less than six months ago. Calm the fuck down. Also, Shakespeare isn't a book

this cant be real. we're not even half way through 2017. didnt we have the last one like five or so months ago?

>>9484618
>>9484606
i think he said in the last thread he's gonna put all of shakespeare votes into one entry for "collected works" or something

>>9485252
>>9484674
>>9484604
i think the last one was like 9 months ago

it's early but sorta not early. idk. i wouldn't mind seeing a new chart personally, last one had a lot of stupid stuff like jerusalem and bottom's meme on it

>>9485301
This one is going to have even stupider shit like Shakespeare's complete opus condensed into one book. I mean, what the fuck? By which standards did you do this to Shakespeare but not to Joyce or Pynchon?
The last one, disregarding those two meme books you mentioned, was perfectly fine. We don't need a recount every year, it's going to be 90% same shit like last year but shuffled around.

>>9485508
Why wouldn't you list Shakespeares stuff as one work lol. Only brainlets do individual works.

Daily reminder to vote Hamsun

>>9485237
i would say it's cause /lit/ finally grew up a bit but infinite jest is still there so maybe not

We should really just do top 100 authors

too early, last one was onely a few months ago.

Bumpd

reminder that mcelroy better be memed this year

>infinite jest
>shakespeare
>blood meridian
>the fucking stranger

holy shit

>>9486543
who is even voting for infinite jest?

These charts are inherently stupid because you can only vote for 3 books.

You should be able to vote for at least 10+ books, all only worth one point.

Then just tally it up that way.

3 books all with differing scores is immensely inaccurate and stupid.

This will not be an accurate list if you do it this way

>>9485301
The last one was definitely not 9 months ago, and why the hell are we deciding 2017's books in May?

>>9485508
I'm with you, kind of. I think Shakespeare and Plato deserve "a complete works," because they're that phenomenal and all-encompassing and each separate play deserves recognition.

But if that's the case I don't think it works in this format because those two collections would have to objectively take the #1 and #2 spots.

>>9486944
what 10 books would you list?

>>9486944
no one on this board has read 10 books anon.

>>9486944
this

also agree with anon that we should do top 100 authors not books

>>9489493
if i did this, would be people vote in it?

>>9489497
Yes, do an authors list.

How different would it be from this?

How would DFW climb up to #4? The body of his work is less than mediocre. He's in the same range, caliber, and type of writers such as Stephen King and Orson Scott Card.

>>9489886
these things are representative of nothing, given how few votes most of them got

>>9489886
Not a single vote for Cervantes? What the fuck?

>>9485801
This! The top 100 books every year is pointless.

>>9485518
>Only brainlets do individual works.

Only for Shakespeare?

>>9490585
Maybe a single one. Maybe they went to Borges.
