For 10 years now, 4chan has ranked the 100 best books ever. I’ve compiled them all to create the Final 4chan List of Greatest Books: Decade Aggregate. A conclusive update on my list from 4 years ago. (OC)

Hello, r/books. I’m SharedHoney and a few years back I posted the “Ultimate 4chan greatest books of all time”, which I was really grateful to find well-appreciated on this sub. What originally fascinated me with these lists is how, despite 4chan's reputation, whenever their annual book lists come out they are always highly regarded and met, almost universally, with surprised praise. With a few new lists out now, and a round 10 total editions available, I decided to reprise the project to create a “conclusive list”, which I don’t plan to ever update again. Thankfully, this one took just half of the last list's 40 hours. So… Shall we?

Notes:

• There are now 10 4chan lists which I think is a considerable sample size. My guess is that even given 5-10 more lists, these rankings (especially spots 1-75) will barely sway, which I would not have said about the last list. Also, there are 102 books this time, as spots 15 and 70 are ties, and since everyone last time asked me what books just missed the list, now you'll know (spots 99 & 100).
• Tiering the books by # of appearances can feel somewhat arbitrary but is necessary to prevent books with 3 appearances outrank those with 10. 8+ appearances felt “very high”, 5-7 seemed middling, and 3-4 was what was left, and so those are the divisions I chose.
• Like last time, genres and page counts were added “in post” and hastily. Page counts are mostly Barnes and Nobles, and genres are pulled from Wiki. Please notify me of any mistakes in the graphic!

Observations:

• American books dominate (more than last time) with 36 entries, Russian novels (14) overtook English (12) for 2nd place, Germany is 4th with 9 appearances, Ireland & France have 6, Italy has 5. The rest have 1-3.
• An author has finally taken a lead in appearances with the addition of Demons by Dostoevsky which brings the writer to 5 appearances. Then are Pynchon & Joyce with 4 each, and Faulkner at 3.
• The oldest book is still the Bible, but the newest book has changed completely, from what used to be 2018 (Jerusalem by Moore is no longer on the list), to now being 2004’s 2666.
• 20th century lit has only gotten more popular, rising to 63 appearances. 19th century has 23, 17th has 3, and both 18th and 21st have 2. There are 5 books from BC. 
• This list is more diverse than the last, if by a bit. 2 New Japanese novels make 3 total (though Kafka on the Shore was lost), a first Mexican novel Pedro Páramo, the first Indian entry (though a religious text) with The Bhagavad Gita, and I was pleased to add Frankenstein, which adds a new female writer and brings the total (though Harry Potter is now gone, so the # of female authors drops with the loss of Rowling [ironic]). There are, again, 3 women authors on the list, and 4 books written by women – as Woolf has two.
• The longest entry on the list has changed from the Harry Potter series (4,224 pages), to In Search of Lost Time at 4,215. The shortest book also changed from Metamorphosis (102 pages, still on the list) to Animal Farm at 92. The longest single novel on the list is Les Miserables at 1,462.
• The highest rated books on this list that weren't on the last are The Sailor who Fell From Grace with the Sea at 61, and Demons at 64.
• Genres, though blurry, are Literary Fiction at 12, Philosophical Fiction: 10, General Fiction: 10, Postmodernist Fiction: 8, Modernist Fiction: 7, Science Fiction: 6, and Epic Poem: 4.

e: could we possibly be overloading PostImg haha? There's no way right? None of my links are working though and I am unable to upload new files to generate an updated link. Huh.
