Just what title says, outside of school and college i've never picked a book to read out of my own interest, i was never interested in literature in the first place but lately i've been having this itch to actually sit down and read something from start to finish.

>inb4 dumbass faggot zoomer whatever

Go to the library and pick up a book. Don't come back here, please.

What if all of them are closed due to kungflu though? last time i've checked around there were no libraries open here.

Then skip that step and get right onto leaving here and not coming back. This is a board to discuss literature, you can't discuss anything if you don't read.

Find the highschool chart and read those. Highschool reading books are all mostly great, and that's exactly where you should start.
Lord of the flies
1984
Frankenstein
Heart of darkness
Brave new world
Animal farm

a lot of 4chan types, including me, got interested in literature through lighter reads like catcher in the rye and slaughterhouse 5. they are great. they're easy but you won't be embarrassed that you liked them later down the line. whatever you do, don't start with the greeks.

If you read them in school already, re read them because you weren't actually paying attention.
