/lit/ - Literature

You guys have a nice recommending reading, but it's never by legibility.

I'm trying to read -books-, but half the time you need to know like every verse in the bible to -get it-, or it's not in English but some fancy English that no one today understand really, or it's just so ambiguous that you have to take a course to learn a whole new vocabulary about what it's talking about. Like, I don't know what an absurdist is. No one does unless they take a class in it.And it's not like these -books- have glossaries or "you-should-knows."

SO, I guess is what I'm saying is that what are some -books- that I can read? I read sci-fi because I can understand that. Easy to read, easy to interpret. I don't need to know about Gob or whatever to get anything out of the book. Really I'm just looking for like a chart or something.
