Question: I'm not sure if you have read Robert Silverberg's "A Time of Changes" or not, but I just picked it out at random and read the basic plot on wikipedia and it seems to be the exact same premise as Anthem by Ayn Rand.

Is it still worth reading if I have read Anthem?

I need to fix my Japanese Literature list...any suggestions.

Wind up bird Chronicles.

thanks, I thought I put it in there...but going to fix.

On a side note, is there one of these jpgs of the worst contemporary novels ever written?

Silk & Steel by Ron Miller

>>637939
Where is the fucking Soseki?!

Hojoki
Essays in Idleness
Tales of Ise
Ugetsu Monogatari
Heike Monogatari
The Broken Commandment
The Makioka Sisters
Black Rain
Also, don't add Murakami Haruki, regardless of what anyone says.

>>638017

What's wrong with Murakami?

>>637895
What about Keith Laumer?

>>638017

FFFUUUUUUU Kokoro, The Three Conroed World...how could I forget that guy!

>>638046

god damn spelling...I swear today is not my day.

>>637939
I would cut the poetry. I realize that waka and haiku collections are a major part of classical Japanese literature, but that's not something you want to read in translation.

Thanks to those e/lit/ists who suggested some books (god damn made sure that Soseki is there)


Also had a second wind and looked through my library to see what books would be "interesting" to put on the list. I'm not one for a couple of books ("Hagakure," "Musashi," "Kitchen"), but the list is kind of a general Japanese literature thing...so I feel the the three I pointed out fit -- but...

Took out poetry (I know more about Japanese poetry than Fiction)...makes me sad...but needed to be done.

I did this to thank the ones who made the Russian, French, Spanish Literature Jpegs...hopefully we'll get German someday.

Critics/flames are welcome.

>>637895
How is 1 and 2?

All Acid Bath and Mars Volta CD's have Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and those are the ones that really popped out as whoah I love those Albums. BTW Faggot Acidbath is NOT FUCKING HIPSTER MUSIC! My beloved Local Band should not be mentioned IN THE SAME FUCKING SENTENCE AS HIPSTER AND DAX RIGGS WOULD STOMP YOUR ASS FOR SAYING THAT!

>>639831
Have all of Nirvana's Songs too! BOX SET and B-side albums FTW!

>>639831
>>639839
With that said OP is a faggot!

>>637895
Oh god yes. I'm so happy that Dune is the first on the modern list.

>>637803
Is there a list of the albums somewhere? I know most of them, but it does seem sort of counter-productive to make an album chart for newbies with just covers.

Anyone have more of these themed book collages?

I'm trying to collect them. Will share later upon request.

>>639856

The album names are at the bottom of the chart

>>639856
I've got only this, it's slightly different, but it will do I guess.

>>640898
Only /mu/tal album names there.

>>640127
I've got a couple more. Had some technical issues yesterday.

>>638454
Cool list, I was planning on making one myself but you beat me to it.

I'd suggest getting the format nicer, I mean, it looks like shit.
Also, similar to the last Russian Lit guide, divide them by Antiquity (ex: Genji Monogatari), Meiji period (ex: The Setting Sun) and Modern (last 30? years), so you can include more authors and you don't end up mixing H. Murakami with other classical authors. You can even add a list of Light Novels (inb4 = not /lit/) at the bottom.


As for the content itself, I'd put more popular titles as well.
For example...
The Silent Cry or A Personal Matter by Kenzaburo Oe;
Spring Snow by Mishima;
No Longer Human by Dazai;
Norweggian Wood by Haruki Murakami (yes, I know, but most people read it and like it).
Something else by Akutagawa. The translation for Snow Country doesn't do him justice, it could be the Master of Go or The Sound of the Mountain which are both nice.

>>640964
For periodization, I'd do something more like Classical (beginnings to ~1600), Edo (e.g. Ihara Saikaku, Chikamastu Monzaemon, Basho), and modern.

I'd divide modern into Meiji (Mori Ogai, Natsume Soseki, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Shiga Naoya, Shimazaki Toson, etc.) and some other division for the stuff after Meiji.

I agree that the translation of Snow Country does not do the original justice. I haven't read translations of any of Kawabata's other stuff, so I don't know what's good.

Also, to the creator of the list, why did you take off Almost Transparent Blue? I'd dump some shit like Kitchen and put it back on there.

>>640916
Ok, since /lit/ dies on me before I manage to upload a single 2Mb file, links.

Sorry about that.
Yeah, I have all the /mu/ ones too.

Hey /lit/ same anon that's collecting as many of these as possible. Thanks to uh-oh I have quite a few now. Anyone have more?

I'll be sharing later. Also, if we can get enough of these in the thread, perhaps archive?

Guy that posted the list back

>>640964

Yeah it totally looks like shit -- I'm not too good compiling pics. I just did it on the fly and wanted to see if someone could update or make better...

>As for the content itself, I'd put more popular titles as well.
For example...
> The Silent Cry or A Personal Matter by Kenzaburo Oe;

Yeah agreed

> Spring Snow by Mishima;

Confessions of a Mask is more popular I think...and kind of representational of Mishima's work.


> No Longer Human by Dazai;

I feel the Setting Sun by Dazai is probably the quintessential writing by Dazai...I'll think about this one.

>Norweggian Wood by Haruki Murakami (yes, I know, but most people read it and like it).

Eh, 50/50 about this.

>Something else by Akutagawa [kawabata fix'd]. The translation for Snow Country doesn't do him justice, it could be the Master of Go or The Sound of the Mountain which are both nice.

Although Snow Country isn't greatly translated...I was thinking this list as entry level type of stuff...I would place his collection of short stories actually on the list (Palm-of-the-hand Stories I feel showcases his aesthetic more...or maybe the Izu Dancer).

>For periodization, I'd do something more like Classical (beginnings to ~1600), Edo (e.g. Ihara Saikaku, Chikamastu Monzaemon, Basho), and modern.

I would like to put a lot of poets on this list (not only Basho mind you, Buson, Issa, Tanikawa, Takahashi, Shiki, The Manyoushu, Kokinsho...so on and so forth) but I was trying to go along with what the Russian, French, and Spanish lists do -- post only fiction (which I'm less knowledgeable about mind you).

> I'd divide modern into Meiji (Mori Ogai, Natsume Soseki, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Shiga Naoya, Shimazaki Toson, etc.) and some other division for the stuff after Meiji.

I'm all for the division...If I was talented with creating collages...I'll definitely try but for another day -- today I'm going to focus on some irl stuff.

>Also, to the creator of the list, why did you take off Almost Transparent Blue? I'd dump some shit like Kitchen and put it back on there.

FFFFUUUU when I made this version I forgot some things...go process.

>>641503
Keep this thread alive then :P
I'll try to make a new version by Saturday.

incoming lit philosophy

I wonder how many people have even read 10 books from this list.

Do you have beyond part 10?

done. now you're a philosopher

>>641640
Guess not :(

>>641639
I don't think that there is a beyond, it goes up to "postmodernism" which is the most recent. A part with some anti post-moderns would be good, though. Zizek and Badiou are all I know from that however, the movement is too recent to compile a library around

>>641656
I posted all these the other day. It says at the bottom there should be more, one for "feminist/queer theory". I guess no one has it either.

>>641665
What are you gay?

>>641667

You should probably go back to /b/ now.

>>641667

The books on the list are more important.

Bump...

On a side note -- kids books? Not that /lit/ has kids, but I think it'd be an interesting list.

bump

bump. There should be more of these eh?

Like graphic novels, thrillers, political writings, non-fiction, poetry, etc. etc.?

bump, I wonder if

>>641584

will come back

>>637924
FUCK YEAH

>>643692
Sure I will. See you in 12 hours.

Bumping for the Japanese lit guy.


...Is there any (good) reason why is the French chart in French only?

Is it /lit/'s opinion that Murakami is a poor writer then?

>>637803
What is the first album on the list?

>>644485
Nice try, troll harder.

>>644488
not trolling :(

GTFO faggot.

Why is there a biography of Marx on there instead of a selected works or the Eighteenth Brumaire?

Anyone else have moar of these to dump?

>>644889
>>645287
I've already posted them. They're only the previous versions of SF III. >>641032

>>646019
Ah, I missed that. My apologies.

>>643974
little update, I'm about done with this thing.
For periodization I used something similar to the Jap Literature Wiki entry: Classical, Edo, Modern (Meiji until WW2) and Post-war.

I'll post it in the next few minutes.

i didnt make i just posted it bro
