What are some entry-level /lit/ books from the period between the Greeks and the 19th century? This isn't covered much in the charts.
>>
That's because the chart is shit.

Try these:

The Saga of the Volsungs
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
The Golden Ass - Apuleius

But don't worry too much about difficulty, sometimes it's good to jump into a "hard" book. Even if you don't understand it all, you can always reread.

Lolita is shit don't listen to /lit/

There are several non-shit books on that list.

I didn't mean the books were shit, but I think, as a "Starter Kit" it needs a better range of books.

The only starter you need.
I should have started with the Greeks

>>7703858

>>7703858
The only worthwhile Greek literature is Homer.

Deeply amusing bawdy comedic romp through the 30 years war as told by a contemporary
>>
The Stranger, Dubliners, Notes from Underground, The Trial, Tolstoy's short stories (The Cossacks, Death of Ivan Ilych), Stoner and A Hero of Our Time are all great entry level books.

You didnt read the fucking OP

>>7704020
Never fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread.
>>
>>7704049
Why dont you throw in some other great books like 1984 and Brave New World, or some other brilliant contribution like Lord of the Flies. Show us the depth of your knowledge of entry level lit between the Greeks and the 19th century, pleb.

>>7704054
Never fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread.

>>7704058
Your suggestions of Stoner and The Stranger were particularly brave and Avant-garde. So few people pick them as works of note between the Greeks and the 19th century.
>>
>>7703897

You've obviously not read any others then. Aeschylus and Sophocles are amazing to name just two.
