Tops & Flops List #17—Favorite Works of World Literature

about tops & flops

Tops & Flops is a collection of lists about categories, subjects, or themes in the arts. Virtually any aspect of the arts is a potential candidate for a list. A Tops & Flops list is similar in purpose to a typical Favorites list or 10-Best list but it offers a few new wrinkles.

In essence, each Tops & Flops list is an expression of a single list-maker's opinions about a single art category, subject, or theme. All items on a list are relevant to that art category, subject, or theme; therefore, a list is also an expression of the list-maker's opinions about the items on the list—whether they are good, bad, or indifferent. Lists are submitted by visitors to Electricka's web site.

A typical list addresses such issues as whether arts items on the list are good or bad, large or small, too early or too late, important or unimportant, enlightened or unenlightened, worth knowing about or not worth knowing about.

Below is a specific Tops & Flops list. The title (at the top) is the list's category/subject/theme—what the list is about. The cited field of art for each list falls within the purview of one of Electricka's cohort muses unless the muse name is Electricka. In that case, the list is about more than one of the arts sponsored by Electricka's muses.
