I'm working on writing a proper reading order for the lit starter kit. I've been putting them in general groups so far.

Short Novels to start with
>Siddhartha
>Catcher in the Rye
>Slaughter House Five
>Fahrenheit 451
More than one day reads but still pretty simple
>to kill a mockingbird
>one flew over the cuckoo nest
>do androids dream of electric sheep
Books that require some thought and context clue reading ability
>clockwork orange
>brave new world
>1984
Books that require time and more advanced vocabulary, or comprehension skills to appreciate
>Invisible Man
>Catch 22

Catch 22 at the beginning was pretty difficult as was clockwork orange due to the slang used. I used a sheet of paper I used as a bookmark that had the more common translations in order to read it. I started doing the chart backwards but hated huck Finn due to the prose. I feel more confident next time after reading clockwork orange.

I'm about 150 pages away from finishing invisible man. Should finish today I think.

I've been reading the lit starter kit so far, I haven't started reading invisible man but I will start later today. I finished fahrenheit yesterday.
