I'm new to reading and definitely not as good at reading

Goethe's Faust

>>8497111
Is this a joke? Serious replies please.

>>8497103
1984 and The Great Gatsby are standard entry-level novels

>>8497131
>>8497135
>>8497118

those are good recommendations

>>8497135
Thanks, I have read 1984 already and it was ok, I kind of liked it yeah. I'll look into the great gatsby. What about "The old man and the sea" by ernest hemingway? I saw that it's a short read too.

>>8497143
Yes, go for it.
As to great gatsby, don't expect it not to be boring.

>>8497151
If it's boring, why do I have to read it? Don't get me wrong, just curious.

>>8497143
boring as fuck
the most accesible are:
a confederacy of dunces
shiddarta (and all those of Hesse for the matter)
blood meridian
watership down
slaughterhouse five
farenheint 415

So you won't keep wondering whether people are right to tell you it's important, and/or so you won't have to ask for an explanation whenever someone makes an offhand reference to it. That's about it.
(if you're not american, though, don't bother)

>>8497192
Yeah im european, should I read the great gatsby?

>>8497195
Nah, if you ever need to you'll know yourself.

>>8497118
Faust is an easy read and it's incredible

Watership Down
East of Eden, Cannery Row, Of Mice and Men
Odyssey
Stoner
Catcher in the Rye
1984, Animal Farm
Old Man and the Sea, The Sun Also Rises

All good starting points.
