Ok /lit/, here's the deal.

I have read hundreds of books in my life time; however, only around five have been fiction based.

Everything I have read has been related to theology and philosophy in earlier years, then entirely science based.

Which books should I read and in what order to map a solid and thorough trajectory through the history of fiction?

Where do I start?

You don't need a list. Just read what looks interesting. We can help you narrow the options down. Do you like fantasy? war stories? would you like to start with The Greeks?

Although if you really want a laundry list, here's a good site that has a bunch of them:

I personally enjoyed the Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Really made me think about death and how we should appreciate everyone in our lives, since we never know when they'll leave. Let me know if you want some other suggestions.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not.

I'll have a look at it, but I find NDT to be somewhat of an idiot in many respects.

>The Greeks

I guess that would be a good start.

>>8357272

Cool; I'll check it out.

Best of theology and philosophy are fiction based... Hell best of fiction might be works usually found in theology and philosophy reading sections.

Well yes, philosophy and theology are largely works of fiction.
