Like anyone here is going to care for the opinion of someone who can't spell "Ulysses" or "Iliad", or punctuate regularly.

mostly entry-level / low-tier stuff, which sounds about right

I was going to make fun of you for misspelling Peace, but it looks like you're not a native English speaker, so it's cool.
For further reference, it's War and Peace, though.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS 'ENTRY-LEVEL' IN THE CONTEXT OF CLASSIC LITERATURE

GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, KID

>> No.541342

>>540926

Sure there is - you do Midsummer Night's Dream at age 11 in the UK. That's long before any kid will choose to get into classics by themselves. Therefore, it is entry level.

>> No.541357

>How many have YOU read?
Not enough.

>> No.541370

God tier: books you love.

High tier: books you like.

Mid tier: books you are indifferent to.

Low tier: books you dislike.

Shit tier: books you hate.
