Working Way Towards Being Lit

>>8611108
Philosophy, Bible, Greek drama, Shakespeare

Raymond Chandler should be up your alley if you liked The Maltese Falcon. Brave New World isn't nearly as difficult as Joyce or Pynchon, you can jump right into that, hell they teach it in high school.

I've read some Shakespeare and I'm starting to get into philosophy. Ideas on where to start there? I started reading Aurelius.

I was supposed to read it in high school but the teacher had us read The Road instead.

Have you checked the recommended readings on the sticky? It's also got a list of philosophical works in order that you could make your way through if you want to start with the Greeks

Yeah, I've written a lot of the recommended books. Just wasn't exactly sure where to start or if there were any other recommendations people had.

Get a history of philosophy book, watch some lectures, read writers that sound interesting (you won't understand them but who cares). Focus on developing a genuine interest, that is more important than anything.

same thing for Christianity/Bible.

Don't stop reading fiction

this is some top tier b8

I've always thought that Lolita is best saved for later. It's a little daunting compared to the other works on that list.
