Recently I started to read some books that are on the lit charts but I was wondering if I need some philosophy / history background to fully understang authors like Orwell, Kafka, Camus, Sartre ... What do you think?

determine and develop your own taste before contaminating your mind with trash, having an understanding of history is good for this, be narrow-minded and intolerant, discard books you dislike before reading them
