Which of the books on this list are “easy reads” which aren’t going to make me have to study a separate dialect of English or learn tons of centuries old societal context?

I guess I’m looking for a “really well written” sort of sci-fi fantasy book that isn’t Dune or LOTR, so I’m guessing it’s probably going to be something like The Book of the New Sun?

But I’m also fine reading non-fantasy/sci-fi if it’s a pretty easy read.

Almost none of the fiction (except for Finnegans Wake) on there will require that, you fucking retard. Even Gravity's Rainbow, the second most difficult book on there, wouldn't require something like that. Just pick one that looks interesting and fucking read it. If you start getting filtered, either look up a guide online, or put it down and move on to something else. It's not fucking difficult.

Reads this if you support LGBTQ, other than that, the only it has going for it is the cuckoldry.

Ignorant kneejerk niggers that haven’t read Bakker and got filtered by some /sffg/ memes. Many such cases!
