Before starting a new thread in /lit/ please cross-reference your chosen topic against this list of some of the most popular/widely read books.

Remember: the number of topics about a book on /lit/ is inversely proportional to its actual quality.

come on - they are both entry level books you have to admit. neuromancer is practically entry level lit too, but is elevated by the relative obscurity lent to it by its genre, rather than for any quality reasons.

Similar example is midsummer night's dream - probably better than some of the higher ones, but it is the entry level play.

And Lord of the Rings isn't entry level? I read it as a child. It didn't do much for Fantasy beyond giving everybody else something to copy for the next 50 years.

I love the disservice \lit\fags do to their own beloved works. They hermetically seal their work in a laminate-like set of judgments and effectively kill what made the book great in the first place (the ability to stir new thoughts, feelings, and emotions). You play a tape for the Master-pieces, the notion that something is beyond reproach.

and then in this repetition of verteufeult, "pop" media is cast down into the abyss despite what riches one could glean. Imagine seeing the daemonic amalgam of aliens and creatures and monsters. They even constantly talk, as if thoughts leapt within their brains like acrobats. What say that about our own forms? What bodies would we inhabit if we could take out our organs?

So yeah, OP is a tool.

hey guy - there is nothing intrinsically gay about Hemingway's writing (no homo).

The faggotry of the OP actually exceeds that of the average /jp/goer.

You sir should be ashamed of yourself.

Finnegan's Wake should be in God Tier purely for completely reinventing the English language... or else using the entire unused half of it.

Why the fuck are Christian books even in God Tier?

Oh fucking wait.

This is pretty obviously a list created by someone about to take their AP English exam in an American high school.

That would also explain the childish need to classify books in a tier system.

I lolled at this, thanks :3

It's the only possible way to explain how Merchant of Venice is in low-tier. Because it's RAYSIST, kids, RAYYSSISSSTTT! Not to mention Taming of the Shew in mid.

trolling aside, how is tiering something in any way defensible based on anything other than simple subjective taste

So where does HP Lovecraft's work fit in on the chart?

>> No.474605

>>474603
bottom rung surely. What else would you call a pulp rip-off of Poe that was published in magazines simply to pay the food bill?

Teenagers need to accept that Lovecraft is the same standard as a Jacqui Collins/Barbara Cartland/Mills and Boon genre fiction in terms of quality. He just uses "cool" things like ghosts rather than steamy romance to sell his trash.

Has this board already turned into a hipster circlejerk? Crap.

>> No.474618

>hipster circlejerk?

do you know what a circlejerk implies? And if so, why are you applying it to a thread in which precisely 0% of people have agreed with OP's troll?

Unless you are OP trying to bump your thread again...?

Sadly I thought the intelligence was a little higher on this board. But your failure to see through this obvious troll says otherwise.
