Codex Seraphinianus

I don't think someone that hasn't read any lit yet will be able to fully appreciate that book, it's quite complicated and extremely long.

Even if you're very smart, if you don't have experience with themes and symbolism and whatnot, a lot will go over your head trying to read a book like that

What kind of literature do you want to read?

At this point, anything that isn't as >>7383629 says, "complicated" and so on.

Either the Voynich Ms, or the Starter Kit in the sticky (from which I recommend Fahrenheit 451 [but keep in mind Bradbury didn't have in mind censorship but the corrosive effect of television on intelligent thought], Of Mice and Men, 1984, or BNW).

There is a sticker with a lot of references and a starter guide. but “big books” are quite difficult and lengthy to go through so you might prefer to commence a set of selected short stories. I personally recommend the following titles and short stories collections, in any order you like. It looks like a lot to go through but most aren't longer than forty pages.
