Reply to comment by BasedArzy in 4chan /lit/'s 2022 top 100 books of all time by pizzapastamix

The list includes Mein Kamf, Ayn Rand, and several other white supremacist titles. I doubt we should be taking this list seriously.

Sometimes it's worth reading "icky" books to get a sense of where other people get their ideas from. I like to know what echo chambers other people are living in.

Same, but I don’t know that this list is worth quibbling over the placement of infinite jest.

You're gonna have people voting in edgy/ troll titles on 4 chan. That happens every year afaik.

What were some of the other white supremacist texts, if u don't mind me asking?

Besides this troll picks, the list is actually useable. I read several books which were in the previous top 100 list and liked them for the most part. For example Stoner, the sailor who fell from grace with the sea, 2666, Siddhartha, Metamorphose, the Stranger and some more. I wouldn't disregard it completely because of some edgy picks
