Hi, /lit/ -- hopefully you are as obnoxious as all other 4chan boards (save /b/ that's a different story)

I don't read much. I like cold media a little better, but I feel it detrimental to not be reading works if I think I'm at all a writer.

What would you suggest is the "starter pack" of someone who is re-acquainting themselves with actually reading? I would want things that have qualities universally accepted as "good" so maybe some Shakespeare? I know Ulysses has some favorability, but is there something better to start with? Keep in mind I'm looking for more modern fare (So that might preclude Billy Shakes.)

TL;DR need to start being a book fiend what do

>Hmm. For whatever reason, I want to get into reading more! I wonder if there's a board on 4chan about reading...

I would suggest reading highschool tier books that you haven't already read. It's a good place to start.
