What are your favorite books not on the lit 100? I love classics but I'd like some more personal stuff too. Unfortunately reddit and goodreads are clearly useless for this.

Anyone have any idea how long polling anon has been at this for? I'm wondering how far back these top 100s go and if anyone has all of the older charts.

>/lit/ votes for books it has never even attempted to read
Always gives me a good chuckle.

There are 2015 and 2014 ones, not the same polling anon. They're much the same, with some books positioned higher or lower according to flavors of the month and rigging. 2017 will be the same too.
There's also a 2015 one for authors (pic related)

We have to keep up appearances with other boards.

It's funny how typical so much of it is.
>>
>>9884420
Anything after 2015 is post-/plebbit/ invasion and therefore null and void.

Who wrote My Immortal? I'm seeing a lot of different ones and I'm assuming it's not the one about vampire Harry Potter...
>>
Storm of Steel
Gates of Fire
Paris in the Terror
>>
>>9884837
It is by Tara Gillespie, and it is a poorly written vampire Harry Potter.fic. However, intentionally or not (the big question is whether the book is a parody or not), it is very funny and it parodies/deconstructs a lot of YA/fanfic tropes and teen subcultures as a whole (the "goffs" pride themselves on not buying into the stuff that the normie "preps" do, but they end up idolizing undeserving celebrities and listening to mass-marketed entry-level bands in the same fashion as the groups of people they define themselves so vehemently against. For your first time, I'd suggest listening to a "dramatic reading" for full effect.
