nvm im retarded i didnt see the thread

>>9545363
Yeah there was a thread not too long ago. First time I've seen the new list, though. Glad that we managed to get Ulysses back to its rightful #1 spot. Also interesting to see how much IJ has fallen out of favor.

>>9545382
Ulysses was #1 last year too.

>>9545391
Was it? I guess I forgot. I took a break from this board for the better part of last year.

The second half of the list is questionable, but the first 20-30 books are pretty solid for the most part. Kinda shocked that Portrait of the artist isn't even on there, considering it's better than Dubliners.

holy shit the redditor invasion is real

>>9545550
You're just now realizing this? Most people on this board don't even like reading.

>>9545438
Thats one of the only good things about this chart. Its a stale meme that Redditors circle jerk around. Its not even that good.

Yes, I read the entire thing.

>>9545465
How is Three Body Problem, have you read it?
It got a Hugo i think, but i've disliked some of the "award-winning" stuff coming out these days

>>9545528
They're not wrong

>>9545548
It's no secret this board is flooded with plebbitors. It's the only board they don't get triggered on, unless some /pol/tard rocks up.

Has anyone here actually read past Swann's Way? Anyone read all seven volumes?

It's not a new top 100, it's a fake.

Fuck this chart honestly, why would we make one so early? The other one was only done at September/ October 2016, so give it a while and we should do a proper one which is up for a while at the same time this year.

Is this the power of plebbit?

>>9547180
i remember when that was posted, i used to be on imgur a lot.
they got jealous and made their own list and it was THE WORST
it was based on upvotes so #1 was The Very Hungry Caterpiller and the rest were pleb-tier sci-fi shit.
i stopped going on imgur after that

>>9547649
this is what they came up with

>>9547670
desu holes was a great book for kids. it came out when i was in 6th grade and i loved it back then.
that being said, it certainly doesnt belong on any best of list for anyone over 12.

i didn't vote in it so it's invalid

much like the previous charts though, it's FINE and has loads of good books on it

>>9545839
It's number nine you illiterate. And Vergil was fucking brilliant, I'm sick of all these psueds reading shit translations and thinking they know dick

>>9547649
>#1 was The Very Hungry Caterpillar
This made me laugh out loud.

>>9547794
it made me really sad when it happened because i used to be really into Imgur and after that happened I questioned the kind of people i was spending my time with and stopped going there altogether.

>>9545868

Is he implying the Divine Comedy is long and unintelligible to decipher? It's really short and straightforward. Pretty much just lists people and how they got to Hell, Purgatory and Heaven.

>wuxia novels
What the fuck are those doing there

>>9547845
what
which one?

>>9547856
Deer and the cauldron #100. Not even one of the best Jin Yong books. I would have put The Smiling, Proud Wanderer on there if anything.

>>9547866
deer book is the only one with a readable English translation

>>9547878
Not sure why whoever made the list would put a Wuxia novel on there in the first place if they can't even read Chinese. May as well just watch the tv drama adaptions instead.

>>9547900
it was voted in by people who have only read that one cause the others aren't available? idk

>>9547866
>>9547878
>>9547900
Wuxia novels have no business being in any list

>>9547903
Come on, nobody here voted for that book. I have never seen anyone on this board talk about Wuxia novels. You're going to tell me that enough people voted for Deer and the cauldron for it to get on the list over other classics like Portrait?

>>9545348
It's a list the discord made. It's worth nothing

>>9547906
https://warosu.org/lit/?offset=96&ghost=yes&task=search&search_text=wuxia

hundreds of hits baka. lurk more

>>9547904
Oh I agree with you. Jin Yong's Wuxia novels are the best in the genre, but they do not at all belong on this list. Xiaoao Jianghu and Return of the Condor Heroes actually are pretty great works of literature though.

>>9547917
> Xiaoao Jianghu and Return of the Condor Heroes actually are pretty great works of literature though.
I think they're pretty good too

>>9547904
you haven't read any baka

>>9545350
>all those meme contemporary books
Lame

>>9547926
I've read Jin Yong's novels and they're not that good.

>>9547926
You need to go back to China

>>9547913
I'm so sorry that I didn't see one of the hundred or so Wuxia/chinese lit threads that have been on this board. I wouldn't have a problem with that particular wuxia book being on the chart if I thought it was legitimate. It's definitely better than a lot of the books on that chart.

>>9547941
The Deer and the Cauldron sucks. If it was Return of the Condor Heroes on the list instead I wouldn't complain

>>9547945
Oh, I agree with you. It's very lackluster compared to some of his other books. It's just understandable that that one would be chosen due to nobody on this board being able to read Chinese.

>>9547934
no you haven't

why does he wear the robe?

>>9545350
>Euripides above Aeschylus and Sophocles

absolute heresy

>>9547967
It would be very painful if he didn't

>>9547967
it channels his chi so he can focus it in his solar plexus and then shoot it out of his eyes in laser form. kinda like superman

>>9547968
Euripides is more commonly taught in high school which is probably why he's more popular here

>>9547979
he's a big guy

>>9547984
For you.

The robes symbolize flowing water if I remember correctly.

>>9545348
When did we get a new list?
Also, where's Nietzsche on this list. Thus Spoke Zarathustra, at least, should be one it. (Am I blind??)
>Euripides ahead of Sophocles
What the heck!

>>9547982
? I always thought Sophocles, specifically Oedipus Rex, is the most commonly taught one?

>>9548000
Did you even bother to read the thread? It's fake

It requires studying an inhumane amount of material to even begin grasping it, let alone fully analyzing. You can safely assume nobody you've ever talked to has ever read and understood it.
