ITT: New Reader Thread

I started "seriously" reading at the start of this year (thank you /lit/) and have so far read:

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Bartleby the Scrivener
Cat's Cradle
The Catcher in the Rye
A Confederacy of Dunces
Fahrenheit 451
Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72
The Great Gatsby
The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose from Defeat to Create the New Majority
Holy Bible (KJV)
The Iliad
Moby Dick
Of Mice and Men
Pride and Prejudice
The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
Siddhartha
Slaughterhouse-Five
Steppenwolf
The Stranger

I got most of these from the charts on /lit/. My favorites are Moby Dick and the two Hesse books, Steppenwolf and Siddhartha. Any and all recommendations are welcome as I just finished Cat's Cradle (which I didn't enjoy very much to be honest, I liked Slaughterhouse-Five a lot more) and haven't started a new book yet.

Pretty sure I did. The book isn't that obtuse, especially when you know the few Biblical references, etc.

>>8651907
Cool suggestions, thanks!

Not trying to be mean, but most of these are literally high school tier. Keep reading the greeks, then the romans
