I've a hankering for some reading, and I know I could ask for some general advice as to what to read.

On the other hand, I thought I'd lend a hand to anyone else searching for something to read as well.

So, you've got them?

Post your infographics.

Stuff plebs consistently claim to have read but not really, or something? Shit thats been done to death?

I think that one is more in the spirit of humor. Still, the attitude of the pic is pretty halfchanish. So far, our own little /lit/ corner has avoided that level of self defeating idiocy. I'd say we're middlebrow here, pro genera trash to an extent, with happy excursions above and below. We're not elitist by any stretch.

Even our resident /pol/ poster or two is pretty chill and just contributes.

No one has made a graph of what we're reading here. Probably a good thing, we're dwarfed by the other boards. So much so that trying to claim some "8chan approved" /lit/ perspective would not go over well.

In time someone will put something of our own together I'm sure.

Its ok, there's some interesting cultural stuff in it, although Achebe seems to also have missed the point that tragedy is supposed to be the result of a person's voluntary actions, and that otherwise its just a story about a person being unlucky over and over again.

Hey /lit/, I had a though recently and I figured you would be the guys to ask. Do you think you could put together a list (or even an infographic in order to spread it around) of important/core works for classical liberal arts? Kind of like an outline for classical Western aristocratic education, maybe even sorted chronologically (beginning with the Greek philosophers and so on). I'm somewhat well read, but I'd like to be able to read something by Evola for example without having to look up shit every few pages.

Interesting. I read the Dialogue and it reminded me of Nietzsche's Daybreak. But other parts are strange to me, especially his line: "I excuse any misbehavior save that which may endanger the government one lives under, kings and their majesties are the only thing I respect; and whoever does not love his country and his king were better dead than alive." It seems so unlike him to me.

Not that poster; I'll take a guess though. I think it could be a combination of "done to death" and "move on from highschool tier plz." I don't personally endorse it, although the attitude is understandable in context of both the time frame and location – back on halfchan.

Based on the old and new "What have you read" threads, we have a good bit of variety here. As an overall impression we don't have any topics that have been done to death, either. And as for "highschool tier," in spite of the board sticky which is a carry over from halfchan, we're hardly elitist. I think the sticky could use a minor adjustment to reflect this.

I'm curious, how do you determine if the book is god-tier/okay-tier/shit-tier? Subjective? The only thing I've read completely on those tiers was A Game of Thrones. I'm currently reading the blade itself and mistborn, though. I've read the first Wheel of Time/Malazan but I only read up to a third of the book before dropping it.

I'm writing a fantasy and I want to know the criteria.

The criteria is the audience you are writing to.

As you have noted, the problem with these charts is a lack of context and explanation. Without knowing anything else about that chart I would assume it came from halfchan. For a time, halfchan held a hard core of university level undergraduate to postgraduate English studies types. The emphasis they strove to impose – heavy in philosophy, mazy pomo, and deeply literary – does make sense; though, to a more typical reader it comes across as arbitrary snobbery. The list may also be a counter reaction to a specific type of "invasive" poster of the time. School's out – summertime! – etc.

Without knowing all this it's hard to interpret.

The Hobbit seems spot on. The next two are iffy. The Silmarillion is a bizarre choice. That's more of a "loves me some biblical chronicles and can't get enough Tolkien" tier. I wouldn't dare to recommend it as an introduction to the fantasy genera. In context though I suppose …

For my own self a critical selection criteria is the series. I hate them. One well executed novel is all I am asking for. Even an average writer can pull this off from time to time. Even a well honed talented genius may not have what it takes to sustain a series.

It seems so. The first thing I did when I saw the thread was to CTRL+F fantasy, and that was the only image/recommendations I've seen.

>Summer is here

possibly

>For my own self a critical selection criteria is the series. I hate them.

yeah, that's why it would be best to describe the reason why it was on the list if we're going to create one in the future.

>One well executed novel is all I am asking for

now I'm curious about your criteria. Audience sympathizing with the protagonist throughout the novel would be one of my criteria (i.e. hating what he hates, cheering after an obstacle was cleared, etc.). That's for something with a good vs. evil plot, though. Doesn't consider the antagonist side pov.

>4.48 Psychosis

Someone should have said this was a play and not a book because as I read it, it seemed counter intuitive, the author tried writing images but said images were hard to decipher. Unless that was intentional on her part that was bad writing and spuratic. Later on things became a lot easier to understand but it felt shallow. Generic depression and looking at the author's history this really is boring entry depression, the likes of which seems self induced. The only thing I can give the author credit for is how she killed herself, it takes a very intelligent mind to hang yourself using shoe laces.

I actually got to see 4.48 Psychosis live when I was in college. It was pretty striking performed, but that's probably just the nature of plays: they usually turn out better performed. Granted, I don't think 4.48 is a perennial classic, but for what it is, it's pretty decent.
