There is a meme you should start with greeks. I think the most important question is what do you want to achive?

>reading

>>9362099
What do you want to read? What have you already read? What do you see as worth your time?

>>9362099
Start with something easy like lord of the flies. I read that in like grade school. Still deep though.

>what do you want to achieve?
To spend time doing something interesting rather then shitposting on 4chan and expand my knowledge of literature and history.

Was going to read a few of the books posted in the pic but wanted to know if they're worth the read or if I should start with something else.

>>9362124
Read lord of the flies back in school, I'm going to read it again though.

To kill a mocking bird is a nice place to start.

I've read a good few of these: some i liked, some i didn't, some i thought were worth reading, others not so. It'll be a matter of your own tastes and you won't know until you dive in; there is no right or wrong in this.

If you want to expand your knowledge 'starting with greeks' seems reasonable. Google the pic. I also took that path and I don't regret.

Fuck the Greeks: nothing but psuedoscience, outmoded philosophy, dry-as-weetabix prose and verse, and bullshit hero-worshiping history mixed with here-be-dragons level make-shit-up.

You can skip
>American Psycho
>Fahrenheit 451
>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Catch 22 and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep can also be skipped, but why would you. They are great.

Read the rest of them and you have read what a American high school student goes through.
