Hello gentlemen from the e/lit/ of the sauce a yeti ! Foreigner first time poster here.

This year, I came to realise that the only way to succeed in life is to write great literature. As most of people here (except the depressive emos) I think I am clever enough to do it but I first need to read books.

So, I've started to read great literature and I find myself enjoying it. I've seen the picture on the left while lurking on /lit/ and I have decided to read all the works of all the authors on it (considering your advices, I started with Plato).
The point is it's gonna be long and I want to read good, entry-level fictions in the same time; the shorter the better.

tl;dr Read the last sentence.

The Great Gatsby is short and entry-level.

how so?
also that pic is mostly philosophers/political philosophers, is that what you want to read or do you want to read literature?

Both, but I'll start with philosophy.
I think my dearest wish is to be famous and considered as a genious because I wrote something good. But it's my non-objective point of view. :D

That was supposed to be humorous.

The picture is entertaining but it's not a very good overview of philosophy. It glosses over or completely ignores entire regions and time periods, it's out of order, etc.

I totally agree and there is no way it could be exhaustive but this may be a good way to start.

Habermas has sort of a boring appearance, you know?
You can't blame anyone for forgetting what he looks like.
