Claude Opus 5’s favorite novels list reads like a literary critic’s bookshelf

A repost jokes that Claude Opus 5 picked a surprisingly literary top-10 novel list, featuring titles like Life and Fate, Moby-Dick, The Brothers Karamazov, Austerlitz, and Blood Meridian.
The post itself is just a reaction—“Russian literature W”—but the humor comes from the model sounding like an intensely well-read critic rather than a chatbot.
