put anyone, fiction, politics, philosophy, math ect.accepting putting two in same grid if they are similar and important enough to you as each other
>>25175203min
>>25175205Is that John O'Hara? Really? You read that guy?
i'm drunk.
>>25175224afraid not mate. the not as recognisable figures are>Tan Malaka>yukio mishima>alan de benoist>benjamin studebaker>carl schmitti like fiction but ngl theres not much id say revolutionaised how i viewed the world unlike these and/or majorly validated how i view things (not counting mishima since i only read one of his fiction books and its more his general philosophy than works which speak to me)

>>25175205eww Mark Fisher.>throws scalding hot holy water on youanyways. this is my favorites, mostly if all philosophers.
>>25175391Is that fucking Breece D'J Pancake? Lmfao man I shit you not I've been to his fucking grave in his hometown of Milton WV. I don't have the picture anymore but I know I posted it on /lit/ about 8 years ago. I think about his stories all the fucking time. First read them in a Trappist monastery in Kentucky, wasn't a monk was just staying there for a bit. Wildly talented guy, talked with some people who knew him, heard some funny stories about him
>>25175534Why is he being shilled a lot here lately? I'm not mad, just curious.
>>25175554He's been slowly gathering more recognition, it's not surprising that anons have picked him up. I think he was big with the NY Tyrant crowd? You can draw a straight line from Pancake to someone like Scott McClanahan
>>25175315Based except for Yeshua and Tolcuck
>>25175205>Trotsky>AdornoThe rest is pretty good.
>>25175595>chud meme trilogy in 2026lol
>>25175597Every year until you learn
>Emily Brontë>Comte de Lautréamont>Max Stirner>Vilfredo Pareto>Hermann Hesse >Carl Jung>Camille Paglia>Kevin MacDonald>Thomas Ligotti
Top tier list
>>25175554Looking through the archives, brought up maybe a dozen times in the past year, which appears to be a drop and once you get back about a year mentions jump up a fair amount. He was fairly popular here years ago, regularly saw him in stack/shelf/rec/short story threads.
>>25175203Only tried to include writers where I enjoyed 2+ books. So no Virgil (only read the Aeneid), Ovid, Goethe etc.
>>25175391I only recognise Gass and Pessoa.
>>25176285Below Gass is Stein and Brautigan, above and below Pessoa is Sherwood Anderson and Calvino. Bottom right must be Pancake since only one young enough.
>>25177097Top right is Tanizaki.
considered putting annienie besant in here somewhere, but her irish nationalism conflicts with my interests
>>25178611oh and btw, it's Céline, Rimbaud, Wittgenstein, Rupaul, J. Israël Tarte, Eddie Limonov, "Hennessy", Dennis Cooper and Napoleon. But you should really know these things by now
>>25176285Top right is Tanizaki
>>25175523seethe and eat a dick>>25175640>stirner>Jungeris this genuinely intelligent or extremely stupid?>>25175595cope, but thanks
He ate the others
>>25179021Stirner deconstructs all existing larps, Jung provides the framework for building new and better ones
>>25179021I shall not, you have already consumed every one of them in existence
>>25176279You have read none of them and this look likes pynchud propaganda. The idea he belongs with those on the list makes me barf
>>25176285Right middle is Queneau.
>>25179247stirner would probably view junger as a cuck. junger believes you shouldnt try to struggle against odds which are extremely great (dictatorship or conscription) where as stirner views submitting yourself before things you do not like is vile, and you should seek to rebel in any effective manner that wouldnt kill you, insurection. i can only see these two being reconcilable if youre literally living in an everpresent police state like north korea or something
>>25180147I think you may be confusing Carl Jung on the chart with Ernst Junger who is not on the chart
>>25179037kek
>>25180134Nigga this is some entry level /lit/core. If you've been here 5+ years you should've read most of them already.For reference, I read:>Iliad (once), Odyssey (twice) I liked the Iliad more though>some of his greatest (Lear, Hamlet, Macbeth) and started my way through his early plays chronologically (up next is Julius Caesar)>Areopagitica, Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained>V., 49, GR>Moby-Dick, Pierre, Confidence-Man, Piazza Tales>Dubliners, Portrait, Ulysses, the first page of FW before dropping it>Nigger of the Narcissus, Heart of Darkness (yet to read any actual novel)>Crime & Punishment, Demons, TBK (didn't like Demons)>Buddenbrooks, Magic Mountain, Doctor Faustus
>>25180225huh. youre right. nevermind, my bad, sorry man
>>25180267If you weren't a newfag you'd know /lit/ likes the Iliad more.Shoehorning pynchon in there is just proof you've only heard of these other Classical greats. Unless you're literally 18 or something
