So /lit/ I'm a turbo pleb who had no direction but decided to follow the starter kit picture posted on the wiki. I just finished reading everything on it and was wondering where I should go from here. Should I start with the Greeks now? Dive into post-modernism? I would like to be able to read Infinite Jest and Gravity's Rainbow, along with some Joyce but I'd also like to get a better overall understanding of literature before tackling some of the meme trilogy touted here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Read whatever you want to read.There is no order you should follow.

pick up whatever interests you. you've already read some important things after finishing that chart. ill admit ive only read like 6 from that chart. i read infinite jest recently though and didnt feel like i needed any better overall understanding of literature before tackling it.

what im trying to say is just read what you want at this point

Shakespeare is pleasant and rewarding, read everything he wrote at least three or four times.

some shorter stuff first maybe. dont dive into the tippety top memes.

i always tell people to read Gatsby if they havent yet. short and perfect book, read that.

As the others have said, just read whatever you want. If you're a pleb as you say, there's no reason for you to take a scholarly approach to literature. In fact, I doubt there are many cases in which someone scrutinizes literature prior to just appreciating/enjoying it. So just read whatever you want whenever you want. Buy a book on an impulse.

Oh, and you can read read Infinite Jest now if you want. You have my permission. It's not nearly as difficult as hipsters make it seem.
