I was recommended by google an article with the title “Top Ten Books of All Time”, and even though I suspected how it would go, I decided to click on it. It started by talking about the process of selecting those books and proceeded to trash on Goodreads and Pride and Prejudice by saying “I went on Goodreads to assist my research, but the #1 book there is Pride and Prejudice, so you can imagine how well that went” (im paraphrasing here). I scrolled down to the list, and yep, all ten books were by white (mostly european) male authors

#sigh #i didnt expect anything better #the site was called oneman #and yeah i know dostoyevsky is great really #but idk id like to learn about other great books that were written outside of europe #literature isnt a privilege of this contintent #personal
