There's a whole stick for this.

Mostly I suggest finding what you like best.

The sticky has loads of recommendations. Only you know what you'd like to read next. Here's one of the lists

I believe that is what the sticky is for. But here anyway.

Doubt you'd have any trouble finding any of these, except possibly the Gide and Mishima.

Improve this recommendation list

My mistake.

Don't worry about vocabulary. Its like getting into a swimming pool. Jump in. Learn as you go. It'll warm up.
Check out the plots and pick what interests you the most.

So /lit/ help a guy from /fit/ pick some books to read. I'm not to sure what I should be looking for, and I did read through the sticky. Throw a couple good books at me and I'll head to the library.

These?

here's a nice big list from the sticky at the top. just go through that and try whatever catches your eye. there's a couple of lists of novellas which also has some good stuff.

the odyssey is worth reading, but i'd say the iliad isn't so much. the divine comedy isn't too difficult, but it'd be a lot of work getting everything in it.

i would strongly advise not listening to the man writing in capitals.

Newly decided English Major here.
Never read any of these books or much else outside of the usual required reading in school, how screwed am I?

What's the longest book you've read (in terms of page count)? I'm ashamed to admit that it's probably a Harry Potter book in my case. Whichever the longest one was.

What books/poems do you think every kid should have read by the time they finish high school?

Just some thoughts:
The Count of Monte Cristo
The Great Gatsby
Brave New World

it's a troll list, this one is better
