Hello /lit/!


I want to get into reading but I don't know where to start.

I want some easy reading but not lemonade literature.I am more into classics rather that criminal or romantic books.

I was wondering if you had something similar to the /mu/ guide to music.


Thank you.


Pic of course related.

I am not OC, and I think this was made as trollbait, but it's actually pretty good.

I'd remove the Ayn Rand (and it does belong in the fantasy section) and put in A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Also, Moby Dick is kinda heavyweight for high school, I'd wait until the end of college or after to tackle it.

If you like scifi, you'll want to add all of Asimov's robot stuff, culminating with Robots of Dawn.


Otherwise this is an awesome list.

Don't tell me you haven't read "The Belgariad" by D. Eddings?!

Do you ever have a treat in store.
