This is why this board has gone to shit. Everyone just reads genre fiction and Richard Dawkins now.

No thanks
The others are good though

This problem isn't that people here haven't read the canon, but that modern anons don't feel insecure about not having read the canon. When I started posting here I hadn't read any of those works, but I felt bad about it and wanted to read them to catch up with everyone else.

What's stunning about 2019 Yea Forums is that it's more or less entirely lost its culture of elitism. If we're going to improve this place, that's what we'd need to get back.

I have read everything there except Plato. I don't particularly like philosphy..

Dawkins is based though.

It's funny that you say that because back in december 2018 when we made our 2018 chart and someone posted it Plebbit, people there were calling us elitists because of our tastes and lack of Harry Potter tier fiction. Do you really think we've changed that much in just six or so months?

This is a good list desu. This shouldn't be asking a lot at all.

Dead-on. The only threads interested in the canon anymore are the chart threads. Everyone else just wants to talk about politics under the veil of philosophy and defend the honor of genreshit. I miss the elitism of Bloomposting Yea Forums.

Ha! I just remembered that I’ve never read The Iliad

Is it ok to take brainlet breaks and read some ray bradbury inbetween the big boy books?

ray bradbury is good genre fiction, yes.
