Honestly? I don't think anyone can give you a real answer.

I'd just look over synopses of classic books and read the ones that sound interesting to you. After you find some stuff you like you can consider if you want to attack the canon chronologically or if you just want to jump around to whatever sounds appealing.

My personal rec is Invisible Man, one of my all time favorites

Also, can anyone tell me if there's a /lit/core chart (akin to /mu/core or something)?

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 29 06:05:22 2014 No.5652023 >>5652021 no problem. but the easiest would be if you'd tell us what you`re interested in. what are your hobbies? these charts are always full of inside jokes and not really to be taken serious.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 29 06:10:50 2014 No.5652030 >>5652021 All of those are on the wiki. Which is linked in the sticky, at the top of this board. I'll never understand how so many people consistently miss it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 29 06:13:33 2014 No.5652036 >>5652030 haven't been there since i started to come here but i'm not sure if all of them are on there. but yeah, going to the wiki would save a lot of questions.
