What is the /lit/ teaching concerning reading anthologies? Im a history and philosophy student and I don't have time to "Start with Greeks" in the autistic sense of reading everything they wrote and further more I am most interested in reading 19th and early 20th century literature. Is it ok for me to read only an anthology of the pre-19th century literature?

I am an Eastern European pleb, a prole, and not some old money Anglo who has been learning Latin and Greek since I was ten.
