How many of them have you read to completion? How many have you started and not finished?

Red is finished
Yellow is unfinished

Essentially a list of books for boys.

imagine having completed this list. I cannot imagine more of a wasted human life. people who are digging holes and filling them up again after a project is cancelled are living more meaningful lives.

I dropped finnegans wake after the first book and have only read some of plato dialogues, motaigne essays, and Shakespeare, aeschilus, and sophocles' plays
I do believe it is pretty dumb to include collections like that in such a chart, but then again not as dumb and retarded as having genre slop in the top 10. How embarrassing

>>24572462
Yes. Books for boys. Not a single story about getting raped by a millionaire with hair like John Stamos.

>>24572450 (OP)
I have read 20 so far. So far the quality has been exceptional compared to most books. Even the books I didn't like from this list have at least made me ponder the topics they talk about.

12 compleat & 12 incompleat

>>24572450 (OP)
Finished 46
Gave up on 10

I've read 53 in full, with bits and pieces of others.

>>24572465
These are generally good books that most of us would eventually read and enjoy even if we've never looked at the chart. I'm sorry you see reading as such a chore, anon.

47
Only read The Inferno, some Canterbury Tales, some Paradise Lost, some Aeneid.
Got filtered by Oxen of the Sun chapter of Ulysses but had been enjoying it up until then.

>>24572450 (OP)
I've read 82 of them. I don't feel any better for having done so.

Fully read: Moby Dick, Brothers Karamazov, Crime and punishment, Don Quixote, lord of the rings, notes from underground, war and peace, blood meridian, hobbit, portrait of the artist, catch 22, monte cristo, Siddhartha, great Gatsby

Partially read: Bible, first folio

Currently reading: iliad

I finished 26, dropped 10, and found only 16 of those 36 worth my time. This whole list is a combination of aniquity (why?), influential, but outdated stories, and suffocatingly boring "style over substance" books like McCarthy

>>24572450 (OP)
Read 29

23 in full and parts of the Bible in school
will apply myself

>>24572450 (OP)
>first folio is a book
>finnegan's wake made top 100
>kaczynski and dazai

okay.

74 but I didn't count the unfinished ones

100 but I haven't finished any of them

>the Bible is #1
>in the 2014 ballot it ranked #64
I will never forgive that fucking Q pedophile for bringing a bunch of faux-Christian drunks to this website.
I hate the christcuck larpers so much it's unreal.

>>24572450 (OP)
Finished 47, plus some yet unfinished or preferring other titles by the same authors. Solid list over all.

>>24573228
Yeah I can't believe people stop pretending they've enjoyed Ulysses and Moby Dick!

>>24572450 (OP)
What a godawful list. /lit/ truly does have atrocious taste.

>>24572450 (OP)
These lists are for new readers, or people who are lost looking for a next read. You should not be going back to reference the 4chan top of 2024. You should be following the thread of your interests down rabbitholes from author to author, tracing out concepts and themes in your own mind and connecting things broadly.

some time ago, having found this list, i've made it my goal to read a bunch of books off it and my progress so far has been very enjoyable, so thanks for the recs, bros. i finished Frankenstein today, which was brilliant and i have purchased copies of Gatsby, Picture of Dorian Gray and Crying Lot of 49 as next on my reading list. I liked how the creature from Frankenstein shared sentiments with modern day chuds, such as myself. Really ahead of its time, and also much deeper than its perception in pop-culture.

I want some more short stories to read up on the canon. Any recommendations? I especially enjoyed a bunch of Lovecraft and Philip K. Dick.

Reminder that the conductor of the poll just removed any unconventional answer that was getting votes. List is a fraud.

>>24573208
100 but just the wikipedia articles for the books

>>24572450 (OP)
im up to 25 now

>>24572462
lol

>>24572450 (OP)
26, now kneel.

Just 23.

>>24574014
Makes sense, because the poll looks exactly the same since like 10 years ago. It's probably just a samefag forcing his taste to look as "the taste of /lit/". I've noticed the same happens on /tv/ and /mu/ a lot.

>>24572450 (OP)
>The Old Man and the Sea

36 completed and 9 incomplete. This list is terrible, though.

Never change, faggots.
