Dear /lit/ I need your advice.
I want to buy a little collection of books for my sister. She has her 18th birthday this month and I want to give her some must reads.
Problem is, she has only been reading bullshit girl stuff until now so I can not confront her with something like Ulysses right away.
What would you suggest?

Mrs. Dalloway
Some Shakespeare if she hasn't read it for school already
In my experience, chicks dig Hart Crane and Wallace Stevens
Dubliners is good for any young person
She might like the Romantics. Give her William Blake if you're daring.

But frankly, I always think this kind of thread is rather silly. You know her better than we do.

Yes but although I read a lot some of you might know a better book for beginners.
Thats why I am asking. To get some ideas.

Thanks so far.

You should buy her books that she wants to read and not just a collection of books that you are like or think are important for some misguided reason. This means avoiding giving her the first folio and a collection of stuffy 19th century literature.

Since she only reads "bullshit girl stuff" I presume you have a wide and sophisticated taste in literature and you should be able to come up with a choice selection of intelligent books you would reasonably expect an 18 year old girl to read and enjoy.
