The 100 Greatest Books, according to PD.com

A logarhythmic scale, then.

Yeah, probably. But one that allows for an endlessly bickering group of Discordians, trying to find a mutually acceptable list of volumes. A Discordiorhythmic scale, maybe?

Why not just have everyone post the books they would most want on the list, and then only include those that have more than [X] overlaps?

[Requia ☣]

Because that would be what I was originally doing, and the rules had to be changed when I slacked off and BadBeast took over.

Excellent idea. Although I think Placid Dingo is trying the bloodbath approach first, in "The Great Book Slaughter" thread.

And sorry Req, didn't mean to take over, or change any rules. I'm happy just to get myself a list of good books I haven't read yet.

[Requia ☣]

It's fine, like I said, I slacked off.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Also, Discordians trying to shoehorn a list into a neat number like 100 is kind of amusing. 

the slaughter thread has already got messy.

And there are parts of the Martian Chronicles that I simply cannot stand.

That's because you are an unwashed heathen who doesn't enjoy good Literature.  And you probably like Pie. 

Those are all true. 

[Placid Dingo]

I'm cool with messy, I'll admit to probably being a bit more controlling to try and get a product out of it.

Really, the point of the slaughter thread was so that if people didn't like my approach they could keep doing things as Requia had been, or however.

The only thing i don't like about the automatic method is that there's a lot of books that only one person has read on this list. A voting system would epically kill that.

I propose adding The School Of Licentiousness by the Marquis De Sade
