Hello /lit/.
New on this board, and I'm beginning to get interested in literature. I'm a Serb, and I just read some of Laza Lazarevic's short stories. These are the first literatory works that I actually saw the beauty of. They probably had an influence on my interest in this.
Anyway, my question is, can /lit/ provide a new guy with some good starting points on literature and some books to read? Just a note, I'm not into poems at all, I cannot stand reading poems for some reason.
Pic related, it's Lazarevic.
Discard your ethnic identity. Read Dickens' Great Expectations, it's comfy as fuck.

I only said that because people would possibly be wondering who Lazarevic is.
Thanks for the recommendation though, will check it out.

Lazarević is great. Dostoevsky is probably the closest to Laza's writing (a lot of precise and deep psychological analysis) so you might like his writing.

Just starting to read Great Expectations, read the first two chapters. Seems nice so far, only thing is, I don't quite understand some of the language used, since I'm not native English. I can vaguely distinguish the meaning from the context, but it's annoying to have to look it up every time.
Otherwise, looks like it'll be pretty comfy.

I'll be sure to check him out. Is The Brothers K a good starting point for him?
