I am working my way up to modernity chronologically but I'm stuck with the bulk of middle age poems and sagas while trying to catch up with some minor ancient roman works i inadvertently missed out on. Frankly the feeling of being trapped for months in the same period is suffocating and I could move definitely start with Renaissance literature but i will do myself a disservice by not reading the underestimated gems of the middle ages.

20 and from the United States. The long COVID summer and lonesome COVID semester proved very valuable for reading time.

Some standouts:
>Omensetter's Luck
>Man Without Qualities
>Sabbath's Theater
>Invitation to a Beheading
>Women and Men
>Herzog
>The Tunnel
>Brothers Karamazov
>Under the Volcano
>The Cannibal
>You Bright and Risen Angels
>Berlin Alexanderplatz
>100 Years of Solitude
>The Bluest Eye

Some weaker/mixed ones:
>The Tin Drum
>The Stranger
>Nausea
>If on a winter's night a traveler
>The Lime-Twig
>Foundation
>Libra
>Rabbit, Run
>Crime and Punishment

Nothing except The Tin Drum and Foundation did I actually not enjoy, but the ones in this second category left me feeling a little more ambivalent, whereas the first set of books I thought were phenomenal through and through.

Do you have a job? How did you manage this? I'm a university student now with probably 300-350 assigned pages of philosophy, lit theory a week, and it just crushed me. I didn't have time to read barely anything else.
