>>9543999
And no lolita at all. Wasn't it in the top five? I understand OP just sorted through data, but having that missing seems to misrepresent the board (that joke was, until now, unintentional).

I'm gonna be honest with you. This list is shit we just did 2016 4 or 5 months ago. Kill yourself. Disregard this list everyone.

>>9544023

Just use all the /lit/ top 100 lists from the last few years. Its a guide not an absolute.

>>9544030
I know but we honestly should have waited longer.

who the fuck votes for stendhal and madame bovary-type shit? the fuck is wrong with you? don quixote should be higher. we need to get pedro paramo on the board

also - complete works of shakespeare is sort of cheap

>>9544039
the list changed a lot, probably because we had a big influx of members from /pol/ and reddit after the election

just look at dfw at 42.../lit/ ain't what it used to be that's for sure

>>9544047
the difference is probably mostly due to fewer votes

>>9543923
Women and men hahahaha top zozz!

I'd like to think this is Tommy himself having a giggle.

>the difference is probably mostly due to fewer votes

I voted and none of my votes got on the list. Seeing as it was based on a point system, atleast my first choice would've showed up if there were few people voting. The 2015 didn't have that many people for instance, I think, and so some books got on the list with only 1 or so votes. This is a weird list.

>>9544089
I definitely prefer this one

>>9544096
/lit/ definitely has more people now than befote. we've had a lot of influxes from reddit and other boards. if be surprised if there were fewer votes

too anglo

>>9544003
/his/ is the cucktholick board, so no.

The Red and the Black was published in 1830, not 1930.

Based on the list, so it seems. It's a good thing they all took /lit/'s advice to start with the greeks, though, I guess.

is this reddit fucking with us?

>>9544178
At least mcelroy made it on the list even though it was just his meme book. I would have put a smugglers bible on the list but I didn't vote because it was too soon. Glad to see gaddis moving up.

>>9544178
Silence was popular here way before the movie came out.

(You): are a MaD brain=let.

Damn I thought we might be able to get Warlock on there this year. I like Lonesome Dove but it's not in the same league.
Two years in a row without Flann O'Brien is disappointing.
Pleased to see Willa Cather represented, though My Ántonia would be my choice.
The Unconsoled is an eye-brow raiser, doesn't seem to me to be in the top-3 most talked about Ishiguro novels on /lit/.

DFW's recent fall from grace has been a joy to behold.

Wow I'd say this is the best one yet. Best looking too. Good work!

>>9544178
The one from pre 2015 had Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and even fucking Hitchhikers Guide on it. This board has become more pretentious not less. Fucking lurk more faggot.

One time I said let's make an alternate list. It won't be the top 100 just an alternate. You can have 5 picks all can't be from the current top 100. I was laughed off of 4chan.

If you were the same shit that made the one last year, why make it 6 months early?
Was it some attempt to get attention and lots of (you)s?

>>9544019

>>9543923
Is Silence still worth reading if I've already seen the movie?

Do you think seeing the movie will ruin the book for me?

>>9544485
yes, the movie was fine but the book is much better. Seeing the movie won't ruin it for you.

Yeah.... old /lit/ was better if this is representative of /pol/'s shitty exodus across all boards.

This is the most patrician list we've ever had
Bravo /lit/

>The Stranger falls off the list from #13, The Fall is a new entry at #51
>Siddhartha and Steppenwolf fall off the list from #24 and #40, Glass Bead Game is a new entry at #29

Doesn't seem credible to me. OP fucked smething up.

>>9544556
The new voting system fucked everything up, i dont know why they used that point system

Yeah, this list is really strange including what >>9544556 said, plus how Everything Flows made it on there and not Life and Fate, and how Gormenghast is above LotR, and how fucking Lolita is nowhere to be found. There's definitely a greater focus on classical classical stuff like the Greeks, the Decameron, Rabelais etc., but also more sci-fi/fantasy shit at the same time. Are these the result of a smaller sample size leading to greater deviation or what? Some of the changes are good for sure, but to me Lonesome Dove is not a top 100 book by any stretch of the imagination

>>9543923
Fucking 'ell who voted for Feast of the Goat? It's passable but hardly worthy, War at the End of the World or Death in the Andes are so much better

bit sad that

>>9543923
Though I'm sad to see Lolita excluded from the list, and Finnegans Wake included, I have to say this is one of the better top 100 lists to come from /lit/, which is all the more surprising given the state of this place lately.

wtf how can lolita not be on there

OP is a biased faggot for sure

finnegans wake is memed to #4

wtf lmfao

>>9545022
OP literally said they discarded votes based on how they felt. So it is very likely they altered the result to have Lolita removed. The list does look more Christian friendly than previous years.

>>9543923

Was the original voting thread for 2017 posted and bumped at peak times on week days or on and including weekends. /lit/ gets extra shitty on the weekends. We have higher quality Anons here on weekdays in late afternoons through the evening in my opinion.

A new years top 100 should be done in the last quarter of the year so around Oct/Nov of 2017.

>>9543986
Maybe /lit/ is finally starting to get some goddamn taste

>>9543923
>moby-dick down to number 8
what fucke

Very happy to see Petersburg on there as I voted for it. My all time favorite book

>>9545066
>Whats wrong with Japanese literature?
I shouldn't have to answer that.
>Are you one of those faggots that's so terrified of being called a weeb that you just decide to hate everything Japanese?
I hate everything Japanese because it's bad and only ever relevant because it's Japanese.

Japan doesn't make good anything (outside of craft, like teapots I guess) but this boards always loads down their favorites lists with Japanese shit because it's Asian but accessible. Same with Truffaut and Godard back in the 60s, Japan is just Asia light for westerners.

>Faust at 15, Finnegans Wake at 5, and Ulysses at 1
>Infinite Jest at 42

Good list.

>>9545082
>Butthurt Chinese faggot detected.

>>9545081
Same, finally on a top list. Good list overall desu. I'm not sure why people are upset about lolita, is it just because it's one of the few books they've read?

>>9545113
Yeah Petersburg deserves more love. I'm not sure either, desu I prefer a few other of Nabokov's works to Lolita.

>>9544089
This looks a bit more credible.

>>9545113
2014: #5
2015: #8
2016: #5

Still get almost daily threads about it. It's not plausible that 100 books got more votes than Lolita.

>>9543999
>Red and the Black on a redditor list

Much as I hate this list and the imgur flood it will bring, I do appreciate that Stendahl, Jin Yong, Llosa, new Grossman, Kawabata, Endo, and Remains of the Day are on it.

>>9545156
Seeing Grossman on it was a pleasant surprise. Everything Flows is one of my favorite reads so far this year.

>>9543923
>book of the new sun getting higher each year
Wolfe memesters wins again

I'm on this stupid board every hour of the day and I never saw a voting thread. If you're going to bait us with this shit list at least make it believable by not loading it with your shitty nip lit.

There have been so many red flags raised about the way the list has been put together without even needing to consider how long the poll was open that we can pretty much confirm that this isn't the real Polling Anon and this isn't a legitimate /lit/ top 100.
>>9545275
That's because this isn't the real Polling Anon.

>>9543999
That have Grossman at 90 and it isn't even Life and Fate. Some idiot probably "voted" it and it made it with one vote (or the creator just added it).

Is The Book of Disquiet no longer a /lit/ meme?

>>9545277
search the archive he made a bunch of posts actually

it's suspicious but there definitely were threads

>>9545277
No, it is the real polling anon, this was their plan from the beginning >>9451354

Literally every year we have a poll half the thread ends up talking about how rigged it is. If you weren't all newfags you'd know this. Rigging polls is probably a /lit/ tradition.

>>9545288
Then why did you leave out the vote counts this time. And this black box discarding of votes is incredibly suspicious given /lit/ favorites that have been near the top for years are now completely gone. e.g. all the people talking about how lolita is missing completely.

Not enough POC on this list...

typical /pol/ fags rigging polls rofl. pathetic. just stay in your containment boars

>>9545295
This was an issue in 201 amd 2016 as well. There was a huge shitstorm about vote counts and reddit rigging the poll or something. It's all super banal.

Hey guys, r/books here. Just stopping by to say this is a horrible list and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

>>9545303

I wanna reread Chaucer, only read some of the Canterbury Tales in high school. How legible is middle English? Would I need to study it or is it close enough to regular English?

>>9545321
This. The bible being the 3rd most popular piece of fiction is silly when its just listing off lots of censuses and lineages with some story around it. Might as well be the Silmarillion.

Sorry for the confusion. When I say I removed votes, this is what I meant. I shouldn't think thi is objectionable?

>>9545399
Prove it isn't :^)

>>9543923
When did this happen? I come here often enough, but never saw your threads...

Also this list looks suspect. It's completely different from the previous one, which was made less than a year ago. Rabelais, for example. Cool to see him on the list, but how many votes did that get? Meanwhile, Lolita, which is memed constantly and was number 5 on the last list is not even present? Even though there are two other Nabokov novels? The Fall but not The Stranger? The Stranger gets discussed constantly while The Fall is barely mentioned. Infinite Jest at #42?Something is up with the way you collected this data because this list is weird as fuck.

23/100 which is less than half of what I have on the previous list. There are some books on here I have literally never seen mentioned before.

>>9545462
Pleb

>>9545462
I knew that something was wrong with this list when Ulysses, Dubliners and Finnegans wake were on there but Portrait was somehow missing. I even personally voted for Portrait.

The increased presence of Greeks and French lit is good, plus Anna Karenina being at number 3, but the stupid chink lit ruins the entire thing.

Should we make an interim 2017 list to compare?

I always like seeing the results.

I've been on /lit/ since the board was created and witnessed all of the past polls.

This list is, unironically, the best list we have ever made, by some distance.

Which means it was almost certainly faked, cause there's no way /lit/ has taste this good.

But I think we should just take this chart and run with it because it actually is quality. I think it's really admirable (and more than a little funny) what Polling Anon tried to pull here.

Is this legit? Pollinganon, I'm the guy who asked you on the tinychat that time to prove you were pollinganon so you changed the top entry to your name.

I thought someone said when you posted the polling thread that this was fake? Something about a discord server fucking with us. What happened with all that?

You missed the best one:
"How can any poll with books like The Divine Comedy in the top 10 be taken seriously? Are voters supposed to have read the books?"

>>9545563
that's a good question desu, I'd ask the same shit looking around at the books that get discussed here.

>>9545563

kek is that real? i lifted the screenshot from the other thread on /lit/

>>9545563
I'm struggling to determine what exactly he means by that. Why would we not read one of the greatest works of literature? It's not even hard to read or particularly long.

>>9545564
I think a lot of /lit/ has read The Divine Comedy, and the rest who haven't may or many not vote for it (and similar classics) just because they should be up there for their influence and merits, which is reasonable. Settel's Traum and Finnegan's Wake are stale memes that shouldn't be there.

>>9545570
It's difficult if you spent the past 10 years of your life reading Harry Potter on repeat, like most of r/books

all this is making me agree with
>>9545542

At this point, even if this is rigged (which it's looking more and more likely) I don't care. It's hilarious.

>>9545583
I thought the same thing. The more I look at the list the more suspicious it becomes: a lot of masterpieces regularly discussed on this board are just completely missing. It probably is rigged, but I actually agree with the position of a few books for once. It also really is rather amusing.

>>9545546
Thanks.

Ah, yeah, after reading the list I realised it must have been fucked with, so I don't have to feel bad about missing out on the voting.

But if they were gonna fake the list, why not make it all good instead of just making it good enough to be vaguely /lit/ but still worse than any real critical list?

I am sure you're baiting me, but if you genuinely fucking bought that book and read it and simply "thought it was great" and don't know why its referred to as a meme then I think you may actually be too unstable for this site.

When did I say the books on the list were bad? I just said that they don't accurately reflect the tastes of this board. I like Pale Fire more than Lolita, but there's absolutely no way that it's reflective of this board's tastes. Sometimes there are multiple threads just about Lolita. Just going by number of ratings on goodreads, Lolita is more widely read by a factor of 17x. Another example- Everything That Rises Must Converge. Great collection of stories but, if anything, the Complete Stories (or Wise Blood) would be on the list. I never see that specific collection brought up in isolation. Are you just giving me a hard time here or are you actually too thick to comprehend the point I'm making?

>A shitty compendium of russian science fiction stories also found its way into the last list, maybe its my fault but i failed to see a fitting equivalent in the new one.

Pros related to the new list.
>Anna karenina
>Faust
>The better Nabokovs
>Two Thomas Manns though buddenbrooks still is unarguably his best book from a general /lit/ perspective
>Grossmann
>Jin yong
>Grass
>Maupassant
>arno schmidt also is kind of nice i guess.

Cons
>Bulgakov still on the list.
>The glass bead game wouldnt even be considered toilet paper in germany
>Infinite jest still on the list
>Too many japs
>What the fuck is boris pasternak doing on any booklist
>While fictiones are the most influental the aleph mightve been a better choice from a /lit/ perspective

everything else is either unchanged or i dont have the expertise

I dont see how this list is any worse than the last one as the pre bible canon is pretty much excluded from competition and a wholedly different discipline. Also rankings are inherently stupid.
If you want to be edgy at least make sure youve read the thousand plateaus

>>9545682
Seems like more pros than cons to me anon.

>>9545674
I fully support YeCarthy being banned from the charts. He's terribly overrated and the only reason he appears in the top 10 is insecure Americans who can't even compete with Russians inflating his popularity. (This is true).

Authors and books that should be banned:
>McCarthy
>Camus
>Infinite Jest (banned from top 50)
>Japanese authors (banned from top 50)
>Vonnegut
>Schmidt, Moore, Finnegan's Wake
>American po-mo (limited to five books for the entire list)
>Murakami
>Kafka (banned from top 50)
>Tolstoy (top 10 by default)

I think the better way would be that you could vote for, say, 3 books you want on there, and 3 you don't, thus giving the ones you don't want on negative votes and,obviously, the ones you want on positive votes. That is, instead of banning authors.

>>9545728
Three votes for the list isn't enough given that it is a top 100. It has to be at least 5 (or more).

I think three negative votes is enough.

>>9545731

The fact Stoner's up there negates the whole thing. It's a middling book with a decent ending, and for some reason it's one of the few books that the average /lit/ anon has read. Fuck's sake.

I really disagree with playwrights being included as complete works. It makes no sense. Borges may as well be included as all his work rather than a specific collection if that's the case.

That's suprisingly good, besides the glaring omission of Tartar Steppe, The Man Without Qualities and The Leopard

The only people who might have issues with this chart are redditors mad that Reddit-22, Orwell (aka. the closest thing to a work of political philosophy they will read in their entire lives) and the garbage I greentexted didn't make it.

It's on the wiki, go find it if you want it.

I browse the catalogue several times a day and I didn't see any poll. This and the unusual amount of Asian literature, a departure from previous charts, and the fact it is May, means that this chart is fishy as fuck.

>>9544055
who is tommy?

was wondering what was up with this list considering the massive change in books compared to the slight change from most years. pretty cool that /lit/ has gotten to the point where it's making rigged top 100 book lists.

>>9547742
it's not, the discord made it

>>9548173
>>9548173
au contraire I think it's pretty cool

this is the kind of shitposting this board needs.

>>9544089
This one has the stranger on it, that should tell you the quality of the other one.

>>9546396
I'm glad I'm not the only one who despises Hesse. Why the hate for Sartre though?

The 2016 list was perfectly fine, probably the best and most accurate this board has produced yet. I remember the thread when OP started the polling and people said that 2016 should be replaced because it had meme stuff like Zettels Traum and Jerusalem that nobody's actually read. Well I guess we fixed that now by having Traum on a higher place and also Women and Memes on the chart!
This chart is one big pile of bullshit. Not only is it completely unnecessary at this point in time, but the votes are unrepresentative of /lit/'s taste because there was way, way too little promotion (I saw literally one thread about it) and those cretins from discord apparently hijacked it. You can't have a book like Infinite Jest just drop 40 places in seven months and a shitton of obscurities somehow "appear" in the lower half. And let's not mention the stupidity of the "Collected works". The number of people on this board who have read the complete works of any of those writers can be counted on an amputee's fingers.

Tl;dr: OP, fuck off and die

And I just love the idiots itt that complain or are happy about some books being/not being on the list. This list isn't supposed to be about you and your taste, it's supposed to reflect the taste of the community, you stupid redditors.

>>9549144
>This list isn't supposed to be about you and your taste, it's supposed to reflect the taste of the community
Full agreement, this is what I think nobody understands when it comes to these charts. It's just a general guage, which is why the top 10 always remains the same, but there are subtle changes from year to year, like the year christposting went in full swing the chart had Aquinas and Augustine on it, and also how there has been a steady decline of Celine and Pessoa who used to be huge on /lit/.

this chart is pretty good, t b h

>>9550646
Fuck off and stop samefagging OP.

>>9544045

Fuck, I got some reading to do.

>>9543923
This is bullshit. I hope everyone realizes that there was a failed attempt at a poll some weeks ago. It basically ended in people calling out the OP on how duplicate results could be submitted. There hasn't been a poll on 4chan since, and I doubt anyone else here has seen a recurring thread, which is usually open for days in the catalog. This was probably some jackasses in the discord server who decided to make their own top 100 chart. I would have voted the book of disquiet, the trial, and maldoror.

>>9550957
Idk, this looks pretty similar to the other ones and I saw the voting threads. The books I voted for are on here. I'm not convinced this is a scam honestly
