This meme is too dank, anon! Give poor OP a chance!

I have no patience for these "I want to get into X" threads "Where should I start?"

Oh, I don't know. How about you start by picking up a book and reading it? If you actually had any interest in this shit, you'd just jump into it and figure out where you need to go from there. There's no magical jumping-off point that's going to propel you into mastering chinese literature and fucking 1,000 chinky maidens while you sit on a throne of dimsum. So just start reading or start fucking off. You know as well as we do that you don't actually intend to read any chinese literature, otherwise you would have already instead of wasting your time making this thread about it.

Not OP, I just jumped into it and had to study by myself. and now I've had a "oh, that's where I've been aiming all this time"

this is good noodles.

What do you mean?
I think most editions of RoTK is annotated.
Same with the other classics.

Read the Annalects and Tao Te Ching.

Depends on your goal, I'd recommend Chinese republic literature because it's undeniably the best, Chinese literature is almost exclusively inferior to Japanese literature though.
