Reply to comment by dking159 in 4chan /lit/'s 2022 top 100 books of all time by pizzapastamix

But you can say this for all genres. I’m saying that people who dislike most romance probably won’t like Pride and Prejudice, however it’s still a classic of literature. I dislike most romance in general, but I like Pride and Prejudice. Although I prefer some of her other books.

If someone doesn’t agree with Nietzchean philosophy, they would probably dislike Beyond Good & Evil. It’s still a classic book.

Were would you put pride and prejudice on this top? Or you can make one?

I wouldn’t put it in my top 10 but maybe around top 20/30 because of it’s influence not only as a classic novel but also on the romance genre as a whole. I know some people prefer The Brontës more ‘grim’ work than Jane Austen, and I actually agree.
