We had to read this in school

*Just a reminder:* This book was changed in THE 1990'S. NOT THE 2020'S. THIS AIN'T EVEN CLOSE TO "OVERLY PROGRESSIVE". (And besides the changes are pretty minor. At least they didn't outright BAN it.)

Interesting explanation. ✨🌞👌

i really hope at least one of these books is a printed out wattpad fanfic

Great list! I think "House of Leaves" deserves at least honorable mention.

I read this one a few months ago. With all this kind of hype I really expected it to be much scarier

Check out Thomas Bernhard. "Woodcutters," "Concrete," "Old Masters"

Pick the one that's most appropriate: 1. Ha Ha, you got me. upon your advice I read Multiple Choice. My bad. 2. Ha ha, when a book starts with 6 pages of "acclaim" you should be suspicious. Rightly so. 3. Oh Gee, I knew the word "fuck" would show up somewhere, when i saw "shit" in the first few pages. Why so vulgar?. 4. Nah, neither "the best" "inventive" or frankly "good." It's just another book. 5. Yuck. Sorry I listened to you and read it. FILL IN THE BLANK. This book _________. 1. blows 2. stinks 3. sucks 4. is dumb 5. doesn't warrant the praise or recommendation 6. sells itself with "honesty" aka vulgarity.

I need to find that huxley one

Then why did he sell the rights of his book if he didn't like the screenplay? For money right?😂

🌼💨🌲 Dao quickly come, ah! ❤️‍🔥👻👻🙏

Manga and manga fans are sitting on a couch laughing at Westerners patting themselves on the back for their childish play.

You know, we should have done this every 25 years or so. A physical representstion of the era of a culture.

Lutyens designed a lot of imperial British buildings in India too at the time India was under brit rule

Awesome Sauce!!

Thank you for doing this! For those of us who love books. Griffin and Sabine was great until it was not. Started faltering at Alexandria. Should have stopped while it was ahead. I wonder if House of Leaves could make your list? It wasn't pleasant, but it was an interesting experience.

That's absolutely stunning

Amazing 🤩

This woman is beautiful, smart, & hot

New authors? Yeah nobody will remember them in a hundred years from now.

I love learning about such cool things! I want to go see it now 😊

Hot Dang, imagine someone going up to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and saying “Hey, I know you’re one of the greatest authors in terms of slowly dropping hints over the course of the novel, but could you write a 500 word story for a doll house?” and Doyle going “I’d be honoured.”

Illuminae is one of my favorite books of all time! I’m so glad you mentioned it

"But you'll be long gone by then" *pulls out uno reverse card*

🤦

Wow, they really were like “hmm, better make the girl chase the boy, just so people don’t think he’s trying to assault her or something”

okay so i just gotta like…. live to a 118 no biggie i got this

Quite alot of people alive today and old enough to see this short will be very much alive in 2114 unless there's some apocalyptic event.

I hope to live to see the opening. Let's hope for some medical advancements

Free Palestine!

So if my math is correct, 2114 is 100 years from 2014 and 10 years have already past. There are 90 years left so I need to be 107. I'm going to fight to live and see this.

Saying comic books were made for kids...when, around the time Maus came out, we had some pretty gory comic books, is just...wrong.

Its gonna be like the library of alexandria

I would have to make it to 107 years old to see that come to fruition😭

Maus I is before they entered the concentration camp, and Maus II is during the concentration camp.

"A Chinese man who eats with sticks" , didn't make me think my race was more Superior than him when reading the book. Nor was it a reflection on the author. Its bring in another culture. People really would rather minorities be left out smh

I recommend everyone read 'Cory's Ancient Fragments'. It's a compilation of ancient authors quoting other authors, giving us small chunks of ancient books that are otherwise lost. You'll also get many snippets of lost ancient authors if you read Strabo's Geography

Youll be gone by then.... thanks

So using actual Native American iconography and cultural dress is somehow considered a racist trope damn that's actually kind of racist lady😂

So they ruined it

i'm not dying till i get to read every book 💀

Okay but werent the kids in the book english? English and American kids would become savages.

You might have mentioned Proust’s multi-volume In Search of Lost Time. I think it’s considerably more difficult than The Sound and the Fury. It’s rewarding, though, if you can manage it.

That first book sounds a lot like the infinite IKEA SCP

Makes me think about all the future authors and their books I’ll never get to read. All the books now might be considered “classics” and I don’t even realize it. 100 years from now is a long time but what about 200? 500? 1000? How many years? What if there is a new way to write books and you don’t even have hard copies anymore

Fun fact, that book was inspired by several real life experience of King’s He was the writer of residence at the University of Maine, and the house they rented did actually have a community Pet Cemetery nearby, with the same misspelling as the book Even worse, the truck scene did actually almost happen, King was able to lunge forward and grab his son in time fortunately though Which, for me, is the more interesting part of this story, it’s almost like he was working through the fear of what almost happened in the only way a horror writer could

I never read Joyce (or much of anything for that matter!), but Robert Anton Wilson's explainations of his works are really fun.....Masks of the Iluminati has Joyce and Einstien in a fictitious parody that is very clever....has a really cool cover too!

let’s hope it doesn’t burn down like the library of Alexandria

Another two books under the same author that I think you should add are House of Leaves, and particularly Only Revolutions - the latter of which can be hilariously incomprehensible at times

this wasn't necessary at all
