I only have 10 favorites. The rest is trash.

I've never read a book, what should I read ?
A
Anon01/18/26, 17:28No.25028073
I only did one book per author which makes it actually quite a small list
A
Anon01/18/26, 17:48No.25028134
i could do it using only literature, only genre or only popular fiction but i cba

(OP)
Stuck to one book per author, probably would have gotten a little silly otherwise.Germinal is great, almost made my list. The big scene when the mine floods is probably the best action scene I have ever read. Probably should have some Lawrence on mine but I am not sure I can call him a favorite.

Didn’t include any authors more than once or I’d have a couple more Tolstoy and Cather novels

Here's my top 100 from a year and a half ago or so. Still roughly accurate though some would drop off and the order would change (especially once you get past 30 or so) if I were to redo it.

This was rough. Top 15 was easy enough, but filling in the rest of the chart took a while.
Also, the book finder on the website is shit. Awful covers, and it didn't even have Blood Meridian for some reason.

It's mostly an overview of the literature that's influenced my thinking.

here's my top 5 (of the moment)
Karamazov Brothers, Hunger or Dead souls could easily get on the list

Can anyone else weigh in on ol' Toni? On the fence about giving her a shot. Good taste overall, OP.

99% is just head up their ass pretentious shit. No taste, just autistic follow the leader ”smarter than thou” picks that aren’t even good reads.

Ten seems a more reasonable number. These are (some of) the ones I have read multiple times and/or will reread once enough time passes. I suppose that counts as "favorites".
A
Anon01/22/26, 22:34No.25038462
In no particular order. Mix of what I always return to and what has influenced my thinking the most, along with some novels.

This is my top 100 fiction books. Creating a chart with images would take me a long time, so I'm just posting this list that I already have from 2025.

Every chart in this thread is 100x more interesting than any dumbass /lit/ essentials chart. What the fuck? Why dont we do these more often?

What is some comfy and jolly literature. Everything here seems depressing. I spent my early 20s reading Thomas Bernhard and Samuel Beckett. Had enough of that edgy shit.
A
Anon01/25/26, 15:47No.25044025
I've read a lot of books but haven't particularly enjoyed any enough to call them a favorite or feel any desire to return to them.
A
Anon01/25/26, 16:33No.25044097
That was a fun exercise. Beyond the top ten-fifteen it was really difficult to narrow it down. Thanks for all the recs folks.

Anon01/26/26, 12:50No.25046167
I have looked up every book posted here that I didn't already know and I have added these to my backlog. Thanks!

Shoutout to those anons I made a bunch of reading group threads for back in the first few months of 2023 when I was unemployed.
