/lit/ I'm pretty stupid so what are some good books to make me not stupid?

I'm currently reading The Sun Also Rises and I like it so far. Any suggestions? I'm open to everything.

I am not trying to call you stupid here, but isn't it more prudent to search for books by yourself? Wouldn't that help you learn? There is a tons of books in the wiki and if you are an average 4chan user, then that means you have time to waste, so get searching!

Atlas Shrugged

The novelization of Alien vs. Predator, the film not the game.

Don't listen to everyone, op, they don't know what they're talking about. Read James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake next.

I said none of that, and I thought I was stupid. What are you doing on a literary board when it's obvious you can't read yourself.

I'm sorry for your loss

Start with the classics. Look up some lit about the Crimean War. Buy a self-help book about how to find good books that help you read better than good, to not stupid, but great.

>> No.3973482

i would read whatever kind of thing interests you and maybe stuff from a high-school reading list you haven't read yet.

don't jump right into the deep end like everyone else here.
