With the release of that terrible top 100 chart by the fake Polling user that is loaded with Japanese cuck lit, its time to get a new chart created for the 1st half of 2017. The voting form is below.
Like with any voting thread on here, troll responses, Reddit-tier votes and people artificially inflating votes for some books will be deleted.
If you have a favourite author its fine to vote them multiple times.
If there are any flaws with this voting system or you would like to see changes to it - e.g. an option for a negative vote or two, I can do that.
>Like with any voting thread on here, troll responses, Reddit-tier votes and people artificially inflating votes for some books will be deleted.
translation:
>i don't like the chart so im gonna make up my own chart and arbitrarily exclude books
stupid redditor
Elijah Harris
You can see the results for yourself. If other voters complain or point out obvious trolls and vote inflators then they will be deleted.
I'm not going to delete responses randomly. I'll keep them there and highlight possible invalid ones and others can verify.
Connor Roberts
no one cares holy shit
you faggots need you spend less time making charts and more time reading
Lincoln Thomas
this is a shit idea >muh transparency go read instead
Jack Lewis
What have been your favorite books of 2017 so far? Who are the best current authors?
Asher Ortiz
no. we aren't making the 2017 top 100 yet.
Asher Nguyen
No I think we're done with this for a while
Leo Myers
but we already did user
Xavier Moore
I don't see a need
Ayden Jackson
cuck
Brayden Wright

Nolan Ward
>Zettel's Meme on this high >Zettel's Meme on the chart at all
Alexander Parker

lurk moar faggot
Joseph Rogers
Why are autistic teenagers this obsessed with charts an ""r8ing"" things?
Chase Sullivan
it's easier than picking up a book and reading
Jaxson Cox
Rank 30, as in people with an IQ of 30 have pretended to read it.
Connor Howard
the inherent competitiveness bred by our individualist society manifests itself within all facets of human society, even liking things.
Daniel Wood
>last years chart was retarded too so it's fine >newfag plebbitor pls go
Carson Gray
i vote for ulysses, ij, and gr between 10 - 20 times every time i see a poll thread
i never read a single page of any of them
i think i tossed a couple of votes for zt last year
who gives a shit who reads what? it's Veeky Forums retard, the board's for memes and shitposting.
Anthony Carter
It's fun.
I was hoping people vote for something different. It has only just started.
There are so many good French, Russian and German authors/philosophers that never make it and get outvoted by American pomo. Maybe some will this time.
Jayden Clark
>it's all just le funny meems anyways >lmao who cares haha xDDD Leave and kys yourself, underage redditard.
Nathan Rivera
>pomo is bad >wants shitty philosopher memes
you need to go back. you've already proven yourself to be a bigger cuck than polling user ever was , and it only took you 3 posts. amazing faggotry.
Isaiah Hernandez
FUCK OFF
we can make in november
Christian Fisher
Voting again just because I refuse to have a top 100 chart without portrait of the artist.
Joshua Young
>all hesse
Jeremiah Thomas
Bump.
Adam Stewart
This is lame. Make a suffering chart instead.
Jacob Scott
>Le funny memes XD Arno Schmidt wrote that big funny book XD!
Lucas Nguyen
Why don't we start doing mini votes every month of what the best book you read that month was? Then we can combine them at the end of the year for an actual representation of the highest voted books of that year. I know someone here has the timtams to make that happen.
Jaxon Rodriguez
obviously, it would work different, but I'm imagining something like the last.fm 3x3 but for a whole boards book taste rather than an individuals music
Everyone gets one vote for the best book they read that month, then they get combined for a Veeky Forums top (10 or something, whatever) of may 2017 Then in January after the votes for top books of December are counted, some nerd combines all votes and makes the top 100 of 2017
Samuel Perry
See for voting on non-fiction books
Justin Brooks
Just saying that the 'top 100 of 2016...2017...2018' concept is not working as it's the same books as before just with fresh new memes added in. People always want to vote for their favourites every year and thus vote the same way every time. This way we would be able to see what people actually read and enjoyed in that year, at the moment its more a representation of what the people on Veeky Forums like in general, not what they actually liked in that year.
Lucas Scott
we have had three threads today about this chart, please fuck off already
Blake Bell
>namefagging as clive palmer
lmao why
Jason Allen
...
Alexander Gutierrez
What happens if people vote for very similar, but not quite identical books? Like "Selected Poems" vs. "Complete Poems"
Kayden Brooks
greatest hits selections should not be counted. choose an actual book of poetry.
Logan Ramirez
'Selected poems' and similar stuff is hard to tally. If its a collection that everyone knows of or is the standard from an author/philosopher, it can be used, but others e.g. selected stories by Chekhov, 'Story XYZ and other writings' wont be.
Someone already voted Complete Works by Shakespeare. Should I allow complete Shakespeare or only allow separate votes?
Hudson Perez
this. Rating art is neoliberal ideology in all its perversion.
Jack Watson
>rashomon >kawabata >obscure japanese nip shit ok
Nolan Myers
>Obscure Japanese nip shit.
Hunter Campbell
>Ryunosuke Akutagawa >Not obscure
Ayden Rivera
is this what it feels like to be a pleb.
Lucas Bailey
Holy fuck are you seriously crossing out Master of Go and I Am A Cat because its "Obscure Jap Shit"?
Are you fucking retarded? No wonder these polls fail. This is going to be just as fucked as the last one
Christian Collins
Man the annoying thing about having Shakespeare's Complete Works in the list is it always goes top five but we never get an indication of what people like. I think people should be forced to vote for one text (as with other authors).
Levi Robinson
>hesse crossed out for 5 of the same author, unrealistic
Glad to see my vote immediately nullified. OP must be the same guy who ran the last one.
Anthony Flores
reddit tier thinking
This. OP is just triggered his favorite memes didn't make it into the top 100 so now he's making some stupid competing list where he gets to arbitrarily pick things.
>randomly crossing out japanese books because he's a plebwho hasn't heard of them >randomly crossing out ij >randomly crossing out hesse
etc.
pretty stupid
Levi Gomez
Fine, I uncrossed the Japanese books and Hesse.
Blake Foster
I didn't cross those out you idiot.
Kayden Garcia
Why cross out Jitterbug Perfume?
Logan Green
is this OP retarded or just a complete pleb? He keeps crossing out real books.
Jordan Richardson
cause op is a frogposting faggot
William Wright
Fixed.
Connor Murphy
Why do you discord people still post here? Nobody is ever going to believe your pic was legit, not even in the future.
Jace Taylor
i dont know or care what a discord is and ive never been there
but if you don't understand why op arbitrarily crossing out votes is a Bad Thing you might just be retarded
Juan Cooper
my name is Odyssey is still crossed out
as is the golden fleece
as is infinite jest
OP you're obviously not well read you really should let someone else run this poll, or stop trying to play god
Cameron Martin
I'm not deleting anything.
You can still see what I have crossed out. I fixed the Japanese lit that was crossed out and the other book I missed when I crossed out an entire row and undid some.
Carter Turner
Fuck off Vivec. For those who don't know, this salty ass hater got run out of the discord for his low posting quality and generally disquieting demeanor, and is trying to revenge himself by photoshopping logs and inventing fake conspiracies against him and his Veeky Forums that subsist only in his snowpea brain. The man needs a doctor, but is fain to glut his neurosis on petty trolling.
Daniel Perry
stop crossing things out period you stupid frogposting faggots
this poll is rigged as fuck we should just use the original 2017 chart
Isaiah Roberts
Look at the Infinite Jest row you moron.
I left one of the entries. I'm not going to fucking record five Infinite Jest entries for one person. >My Name Is Odyssey.
I Googled it and checked Goodreads before crossing it and nothing came up.
David Howard
The fake list you're pretending to advocate not only arbitrarily crossed out votes (if it took any into account at all) but didn't show any results. This one does, so as much as OP dropped the ball on opening with the shitter frog pic, they still have my vote over yours.
Grayson Bell
t. Discord faggot.
Brandon Nguyen
So is the Veeky Forums Discord cartel really a thing now?
Isaac Allen
idk what this fiscord shit is but maybe you should stop taking it out on us with a shitty poll
Hunter Harris
Yes, "discord" is codeword for Reddit.
Landon Robinson
The "original 2017 chart" doesn't exist. Vote results were never posted, and the threads were up for a spread total of 4 days or so, weeks ago. You immediately deleted your second (or third?) one as soon as your so-called discord troll dropped that log cap into it. There were so few voters that most #1 books would have made it onto the list, and most voters will notice that their top picks didn't make it onto the list. Not even lurkers are ever going to believe you. Give up.
Christian Bailey
Tiny brain: Not using discord in TYOOL2017
Medium brain: Being on Veeky Forums 2.0
Powerful brain: Being on the private Melynx Veeky Forums discorsd
Carson Carter
Can someone tell me what happened to the other poll and why my votes are being crossed out on here?
Henry Morales
ok i read this board like once a week so i missed this
that doesn't make this current poll any better
you seem to think I'm one of "them" (???) try reading less Pynchon novels jesus
Tyler White
B-Brothers Karamazov Represent, hahaha!
Cooper Rogers
To the one who crucified himself with Hermann Hesse responses, thank you
Xavier Garcia
>muh discord shills
frogposting redditor wants to do le epin chart like the one he saw on r/Veeky Forums, gets mad when BTFO, has to invent boogeymen like all redditors who come here and get triggered by "problematic opinions"
you have to go back
Levi Ortiz
No clue, I know one of the past in-progress "top 100 charts" was so heavily invaded by users with referral traffic from places other than Veeky Forums it was entirely scrapped.
Isaac Cook
The "Golden Fleece" votes are just the same discord trolls trying to drown out this thread with samefag comments. You should delete the entire rows.
Gabriel Rodriguez
I'm fucking tired of this Discord. At least the Melynx people have the decency to behave like a "secret society" and tap only the best anons to join their ranks; you guys though never pass up an opportunity to shit all over a thread with your injokes and sophomoric "raids". I speak for all of Veeky Forums when I say: fuck off!
David Evans
t. melynx
Joseph Carter
I was until people started chimping out.
I'm only crossing that which is obvious samefagging, and stupid obscure books that one person wants to make on the chart.
Once voting is over we can vote on what should stay or go and suggest other adjustments.
Brandon Gomez
Among them right now... the narcissists in the discord are just a variety of bored and shitposting /mu/ kids. like any loser who wishes to loiter day away among links to videos no one's gonna watch, and memes that even they're not sure what was meant by sometimes, its an unremarkable place full of unremarkable internet kids. nothing special. not worth the attention
Carson Baker
>autistic 13 year old style buzzword speech >epic dfw memepic get cancer soon
Ian Gomez
>1 person
just because you've never heard of akutagawa doesn't mean he's obscure you illiterate monkey
stfu about you gay discord shit holy shit
Jace Brooks
Suck my dick wanker. You're just jealous you're not in and have to post 'mong the proles.
Landon Carter
>stupid obscure books that one person wants to make on the chart Okay, you're better than the discord shits but not much. Fuck off and let someone do a real poll in a couple months.
Wyatt Jackson
Melynx boys run this board. Stories published in McSweeney's, Electric Literature, Brennon's. And Veeky Forums 2.0? Nothing but a pity party for those who couldn't make the cut.
Ethan Wilson
I'm not crossing stuff out anymore. The idiot that keeps spamming Kawabata and Japanese stuff along with the same classics is going to get half of his votes disqualified though.
Blake Cooper
really? which authors are in the Veeky Forumserati?
Gabriel Thompson
>I'm not gonna cross stuff out >except when I am
are we sure this isn't just a stupid discord false flag operation ? there's no way OP is this retarded right?
Blake Gray
>McSweeney's Publishing is an American non-profit publishing house founded by editor Dave Eggers in 1998 >Dave Eggers
you might want to brag about that on r/writing, not here
Landon Ward
>being this much of an illiterate memester
Cameron Clark
>are we sure this isn't just a stupid discord false flag operation ? considering how hard they've been trying to damage control even here, no, I'm sure it's not
Hudson Ward
>stupid obscure books that one person wants >literally discards valid honest opinions from his survey of opinions >uses his puny retarded frogfaggot literature baggage as a measure for obscurity Yeah, you can fuck right off, shartsniffer. If you want to see same stuffy high-school world classics rearranged slightly differently I suggest you use last year's chart and MS Paint instead of shitting up the board with your oligophrenic mental diarrhea.
Evan Flores
Look at the highlighted results. There's one fag that keeps posting Lolita and his favourite Japanese author.
Luke Gutierrez
polls are for dumbposters
Hunter Howard
>A Tale for the Time Being - Ruth Ozeki All the others are obviously the same discord kids trying to discredit it but no, really, you're not qualified for this
Anthony Thomas
you know jap lit gets posted here all the time right? you know kawabata won a Nobel prize and is super fucking popular among the posters of Veeky Forums right? you know there's a mishima thread at least once a week right?
I hope op and discord die in a fucking plane crash together
stop shitting up this board you guys are worse than /pol/
Oliver Torres
>92 posts >33 posters
this is undoubtedly another discord poll
just fuck off you discord shills
Levi Perez
The row with Miller and Ozeki is mine. It's the only time I have or will vote in this poll
Jordan Wilson
my vote got dismissed as samefag. holy shit this poll is a disaster. kill yourself polling user.
Christopher Flores
>if only you could post more than one reply in a thread
Asher Barnes
really starting to think op is from this discord shit
can't you faggots just stay in your little playground and leave this board alone
