So, /lit/, I'm kinda new to reading real books. Only books i've ever read are the Game of Thrones series. My question is: What are the /lit/ essentials?

the /lit/ essentials aren't necessarily the best starting place for new readers. It might sound boring in theory (although I promise the books themselves aren't boring), but your best option is to start with the high school classics (gatsby, catcher in the rye, lord of the flies, 1984, frankenstein, of mice and men, etc.), and work your way upwards.
