It's that time of year again! Vote for which books you wish to see on this year's top 100 chart. You can vote for as many books as you want. If there are any books not on the list that you wish to vote for, request the author and title ITT and they will be added. Responses can be changed after submitting.Voting closes on the New Year, after which will be the tiebreaker poll. To prevent spamming, a Google account is required to vote, but will not be collected or stored.Vote here:https://forms.gle/LqHa5xS1q5CVikem6
>>24951578No! Not again this faulty system where you can request books to add, and the later a book will be added (even if you can update your vote, most probably won't) the fewer votes it will receive.The system has always been you vote by nominating five-ten books, then tie-breakers; not selecting from an ever-incomplete pregiven list.
>>24951595If they don't request the book to be added, they weren't going to vote for it anyways.
>>24951578>a Google account is required to voteok so the list has nothing to do with /lit/
>>24951598Since you have infinite votes, in this system people certainly would. I'm aware it was done this way last year, and by the looks of it the list is all of last year's nominations, a pretty broad selection, but always still with the same fault, and not how it was always done.
>>24951601When the poll was conducted without requiring an account, there was frequent spamming of certain books. If you're worried about privacy, the account won't be shared with the pollster.
>>24951604Every book anyone voted for last year is already added to the poll. The only books that will be requested for addition are rare and obscure books that will only be voted on by the requester.
>>24951578Thanks for organising OP. Few issues I've noticed though, first one is that Xenophon's Anabasis and the Persian Expedition are the same thing, second is that Tinker, Tailor is the more famous Le Carre work, and there's a few things in here that wouldn't make any reasonable list and thus don't deserve mentioning, like Sanderson's slop. Also, I would propose adding Stefan Zweig's Chess Story to the list, along with Carlyle's Sartor Resartus, and Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday.My proposals for underrated books to organise vote blocs for: Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung, Gormenghast, something by Carlyle, The Manuscript found in Saragaossa, and Augustus.
>>24951611Why take requests at all with that attitude. While anyone who wants to take all options into consideration would have to monitor this thread and re-view his vote every time there is an addition, potentially editing his vote multiple times. (People would like to see some changes in the lower half of the top 100 certainly would vote, since they can vote that way, for something they know but wouldn't have of otherwise…)
I will need Dying Inside by Silverberg added.
>>24951578>no Spengler cringe.
It seems there is no way to downvote a book
Mein Kampf is missing from the list
>>24951613>Xenophon's Anabasis and the Persian Expedition are the same thingNoted. The latter has been removed. Luckily, no one has voted for it yet.>Sanderson's slopThey barely get any votes anyways.>Tinker, Tailor is the more famous Le Carre work>Stefan Zweig's Chess Story>Carlyle's Sartor Resartus>Chesterton's The Man Who Was ThursdayAdded>>24951617>anyone who wants to take all options into consideration Can vote for any book in the universe by requesting it in this thread.>>24951627Added>>24951631Added the Decline of the West>>24951659Added
>>24951659Might as well add Call of the Crocodile at this point.
Cursed pill
can't remember 80% of these books being discussed here in the last year.i call bullshit
Kafka's Amerika should definitely be there as it is his best work imo and was a huge influence on Ellison's Invisible ManI'd also say The Glass Bead Game is Hesse's best workThe Thirty Years War, by Wedgewood, is very popular on /lit/ due to its literary qualities
>>24951710Added
>>24951578please add Chekhov’s Stories and Plays, Satantango and The Melancholy of Resistance by Krazsnahorkai, Hart Crane and Wallace Steven’s Poems and Nabokov’s Pnin.
For me it's gonna be The Noble Quran as an eye-opener and guide on how to create an utopian and just society free of depravity, deception and drugs (including alcohol), which you can begin to ponder over only if you're brave and wise enough to accept that behind each question such as why Arabic why the middle east for the final revelation lies a linguistic and cultural barrier that if you face head on and conquer will unlock riches far beyond your wildest dreams and let you ascend to a higher state of consciousness. Otherwise I thought the 2024 list was interesting, and give us some good ones for 25 /lit/.
>>24951578Hey man, why not make it three votes max, so that people are more choosy with what they pick? Also, could you make a best books of the quarter century list, or a best authors list, so that we have something more fresh this year...
>>24951724Like I personally think three votes max would greatly increase the quality, last year's was quite disappointing.
>>24951725A-and you can very well get inspired by the way it's arranged at truelit, cuz the guy makes it really well there.
>>24951724>>24951725>>24951728Kinda faggy
>>24951601yeah more like google account's top 100 books
>>24951578I’d vote for Jünger—The Glass BeesNicholson Baker—The Mezzanineif they were on the list.
>>24951716Added>>24951724>why not make it three votes maxThat will result in way too many ties of books with only one vote.>could you make a best books of the quarter century list, or a best authors listYou're free to do it yourself. >>24951728Kek, the way r/truelit does it is so shit.
>>24951731We deal with this every year, whenever someone wants to get rid of google accounts and the OP is foolish enough to listen to them there's an endless spam of call of the crocodile, l'academie mein kampf, and other useless shit that nobody wants.
>>24951734Added
>>24951578Can you add these?A Heart So White by Javier MaríasAn Adultery by Alexander TherouxIsrael Potter by Herman Melville
>>24951748No, sorry.
>>24951748Added>>24951751kek
>>24951578Add Mann - Buddenbrooks
Why not just make right now a nominations round where people are asking books to be added then after a point start the voting round?
>>24951802because we really need to get google involved in the process somehow
>>24951802literally pointless
>>24951784Added
add vampire chronicles by anne ricecarmillaalso add conan the barbarian by howardhope actual books can get votes instead of the typical pseud meme garbage
>>24951846Added
>>24951578Please add Vollmann’s : The Dying GrassEurope CentralAndMcCarthy:All the pretty horsesThe Crossing
>>24951853Added
I've been looking all over the net for the "My Diary Desu" but could never acquire a copy. I don't think there's any review for it either.
>>24951871I have a signed copy. How much are you willing to pay?
Please add Consider the Lobster (Walley's best work)Vonnegut's doing well this year so far. I'd imagine he is helped quite a bit by the voting format. Not necessarily a common top 5 / top 10 favorite, but most people like him enough to check a box.
>>24951900Added
>>24951595OP does it this way because he's a lazy faggot who can't process raw data.
>>24951986>Nooooooo you have to do things more complicated
>>24951578 Seems like Moby Dick is popular.Its over.
>>24951578This shit is always rigged, boooooo
>>24951605What you mean to say is it was restarted over and over again because it wasn't coming out how the anon running it wanted
