/lit/ - Literature

Sup /lit/, I've recently been getting my girlfriend into reading and gave her siddhartha, which she didn't enjoy. Now she is reading game of thrones, and got hooked. She asked for more recommendations, said she enjoyed Jodi Piccold and Dan Brown - the commercial options most of us read at some point or other. Obviously, she isn't patrician, but what other easy reads would you suggest for her to read? She wants to gradually build up to harder reads.

Yo homies, is it necessary to have read the Iliad before starting the Aeneid? I've read the Odyssey at least in parts but I've yet to touch any of the Iliad and I know the whole volume division structure of the journey elements in the first half versus the warfare elements of the second half of the Aeneid, but I'm wondering if there's gonna be anything I miss out on because of that.
