Latest revision as of 08:07, 19 December 2023

From 2014, polls of posters' favorite books have been conducted every year on /lit/. The responses to these polls generated the below infographics. After 2017, lists continued to be created, but without polls.

(In 2015, the poll also asked for a list of the responder's and three favorite authors. This was not continued from 2016 onwards.)

Facts about the similarities and differences between the 2014 poll results and the 2015 poll results are as follows:

  • 69% of the books from the 2014 list made it onto the 2015 list.


  • The highest placing new additions to the 2015 list are:
    1. Confederacy of Dunces (26)
    2. Book of the New Sun (27)
    3. Les Miserables (35)
    4. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler (50)
    5. For Whom the Bell Tolls (53)
  • The highest placing books to drop off the 2014 list are:
    1. The Plague (35)
    2. The Silmarillion (42)
    3. Leaves of Grass (53)
    4. Harry Potter series (54)
    5. A Clockwork Orange (55)
  • Of the books that stayed on the list, the greatest gains were made by:
    1. The Iliad (94 to 18)
    2. The Old Man and the Sea (97 to 34)
    3. Paradise Lost (98 to 37)
    4. Portrait of the Artist (67 to 12)
    5. Steppenwolf (93 to 42)
  • The greatest losses were:
    1. Dune (29 to 83)
    2. The Picture of Dorian Gray (16 to 64)
    3. A Farewell to Arms (46 to 93)
