Hi there /lit/.

My girlfriend is a bit basic and not really interested in reading, but I've convinced her to start reading books with me.
What are your thoughts on some relatively easy (but good) books to suggest we read?
Elements of romance would probably help, but are not required.

How do you read books with another person?

1984

simple writing with good authors, like Hemingway or Vonnegut is cool
Get some drinks and talk about the story/themes
that's what a book club is, friends hanging out with the pretense of discussing books, works pretty well desu

You read them at the same time and discuss them as you do or when you are finished. Like a book club does. Two different copies, not the same one.

Thanks anon. 1984 was pretty deep, you're right.

Dear Mr. Basic,
Maybe from all the fucking reading that you've done so far, you should be able to recognize that what you're trying to accomplish is probably the single most ill-advised thing one could ever attempt to do in any sphere in life?

Try some short and awesome ones:
- The Death of Ivan Iliich
- The Fall
- Demian
