/lit/ - Literature

Hello faggots.

When I was 13 I dropped out of school because I was a dyslexic poorfag with no support and had to fend for myself. Anyways, I would go to the library everyday and study while I worked full time. I continued studying on and off until I got my GED at 19. I was offered college scholarships but I never took them on fear of failing in school because of my general disgust for schooling institutions. I'm 25 now and continued to study for myself. So far I have gained college credit by completing placement exams at my state university for $70 per course. However I have now reached a stale because of my lack of literature comprehension. I've never been much of a reader of literature as I always saw it as a waste of time so I elected to focus my reading in textbooks. Now am I not only having trouble with passing a literature exam but finding books on literature comprehension. I was surprised I was not able to find torrents online, I was even desperate enough to go to leddit and still to no avail. So I started looking for textbooks of the dead tree format in eBay and found barely a few.

So basically /lit/ I'm asking where can I find book for literature comprehension? When you guys were in school, how were you thought? Do you guys know a place to study literature comp? If not what books should I read for beginner comprehension?

Thanks.
