I made a new one which should be a lot more helpful and better. Pls let me know what you think.

Why is don quixote in a meme list?

Oh hell no. John greens books are great but only for teenagers. Plus, those aren't literary works with critic point, and they don't affect our society.

+ steppenwolf and Ulysses are missing

we should make a thread called

"what book got you into literature?"

and then make a starter pack out of that

that would be science

But this one and the top 100 list are the best imo, kids should just pick stuff at random and dive in.

pretty good but it always bothers me that solzhenitsyn is slept on

>>9287020
I wish Katie would love me

>>9287159
but this thread was about a starter kit, you wouldn't suggest Ulysses to someone who doesn't read at all

>it's full of American "literature"

No, thank you very much.

What's the worst that can happen, they buy the book realize it is too hard then shelve it for a year or two? Let people figure it out on their own, I prefer a chart that is heuristic opposed to one that is limiting.

Instead of making a new thread I'll ask here.

Why the Alexander Pope translations? FWIW I like Pope's translation (just started the greek list, on Iliad now) but searching for translation reviews it rarely comes up and Lattimore and Fagles are always recommended.
