            You're comparing your little rant to literature but take umbrage to people documenting their travels and food consumption? Surely using your logic this is travel journalism and food journalism respectively ...

            I personally see nothing wrong with the social aspect of the internet that gets people reading. When I was at school, we had a "library period" a week where we were made to choose a book and check it out of the library. These days kids seem content to sit in and play video games.

            Calling someone simple just because they have a different opinion to yours is ridiculous.

            P.S.: Jel, if he starts calling me names can we setup a support group?

There's some intellectual snobbery involved. You can be brilliant and filled with insight without reading any of them.

                        People are becoming obsessed, it's the social Internet doing it, the bucket list mentality measuring a fulfilling life, keeping a scorecard of what you'd done, what you've eaten, where you've visited, what you own, how many followers on Instagram - all just a competition.
                        I think you are missing the point. It is more they don't want to miss something. For some it is the look at me aspect but for others it is the really cool experience that is readily attainable that they missed.

                            Well how else would you discover some book if not from some recommendation? I mean you would not blindly go and say - this book has a nice cover, maybe I should try reading it.
                            It does not necessary have to be a "list", but you get recommended or read about the book somewhere before buying. Or I do not know, maybe some people just buy blindly

                                there's one reason for lists like that- to sell more shit.

                                :-)
                                Aside from the fact that these lists in OP are not quality - the purpose of such lists is that people who read many books might find some new ideas of what books they possibly pay attention to. Something similar to when you want to watch some movie and since you watched "all of them" you may go to some top 100 list to get ideas. Not that the lists TELLS you to watch it, you just go and fish for something new.
