How do I become "well read"? What is the IMDb top 250 equivalent of books?
>>25183451Read these
>>25183451>What is the IMDb top 250 equivalent of books?The /lit/ top 100, of course
>>25183451>>25183460search for a few /lit/ top 100s (~annual chart) and other chart threads, read what you think sounds interesting, do this for several years
>>25183451well read refers to having a wide spectrum of books
>>25183451idk i just read whatever I feel like but maybe look into that harvard 5 foot bookshelf bullshit
Avoid anything /lit/ tells you to read
>>25183451https://thegreatestbooks.org/Anons will sperg about order but you have to get quite down on this one list before you find an actual bad book
>>25183451Start with this
>>25183451unfortunately, reddit's list mogs /lit/ and is a good starting point
>>25183456Kek brilliant.

>>25183629>list of books Bloom wants you to "read" and what he thinks they actually "really mean"
>>25183612Too esoteric. IMDb's list includes popular classics as well as cult classics. It's a decent introduction to the film canon. >uses original language for latin-script recognizable titles but not for crime and punishment and the odisseyActual dictionary definition of pretentious
>>25183451This is the closest to a IMDb top 250: >>25183629actual list here: http://www.sonic.net/~rteeter/grtbloom.html>>25183665It has some gaps towards works that are highly influential but only really got re-appraised more recently (icelandic sagas, arabic poetry) but honestly it is probably the most comprehensive canonical list you're gonna get.
>>25183612This isn’t leddit’s list at all you homo.
>>25183675>IMDb's list includes popular classics as well as cult classics. It's a decent introduction to the film canonlol. It's full of garbage like super hero movies, Bollywood, and recent Hollywood shit.
>>25183731I know. Those are hype pollutions. The films that remain there through time are good.
>>25183869>The films that remain there through time are good.Schindler's List and Inception, etc., lol
