alright lads, pleb here who has only ever read a couple of books

how could you only read a couple of books by age 24

you have to at least read 1-3 every summer during schooling, not counting that which is read during the term.

I didn't read any of my school books and I dropped out

>>9312804
how good is your reading comprehension, no point recommending something you can't understand. and are you reading for fun or to become "wiser" or w/e

try reading light mystery novels

since you never really read ANYTHING, idk, "The Hardy Boys?"

pretty good I think, better than the average person at least

I don't care if you guys laugh at this but I became interested in literary content because of videogames, and I spent a couple of years looking into lit crit for them

I only read 1984 last year because of the new metal gear solid :~0

>>9312892

what's dat, what's da hardy boys

just start reading entry level /lit/core stuff. there's charts

>>9312906

stop pretending to be too stupid to use google

>>9312914

but I want to know what you guys think

>>9312892
Savage.

>>9312906
No meme, game of thrones is a pretty entertaining and entry level series.

>>9312906
Lord of the flies or animal farm would be good books to read as well.

>>9312804
Read Of Mice and Men. It's short, simple and beautiful. And you can find it online. A great place to start.

Agreed

>>9312924

might check it out, although I'd prefer to read something that would seem more fresh to me, having heard so much about game of thrones already

thanks anon

>>9312927

lord of the flies is a good one, I think I'll read that next time I play the new metal gear solid again :~)

animal farm I did read a little bit already (or rather listened to). I loved 1984 so I hoped I'd love animal farm too, but I found it much less evocative and more heavy-handed so I didn't get into it much :~(

>>9312804
The Old Man and the Sea

>>9312945
Yeah animal farm is definitely not subtle, if you liked 1984 Brave new world by Huxley might be a good choice. Heart of darkness is short but very good. The long walk by stephen king is one of my favourites and appealing to most people. Remember that while most of these books might be considered entry level by people on /lit/ the average normie thinks something like 1984 is the pinnacle of literature.

start with the greeks

>>9312892
I love the hardy boys as a kid. Read probably all of them

>>9312804
Read The Stranger by Albert Camus

>>9312924
Game of Thrones is terrible, even for people who've barely read anything.

Not an arguement.

Read Stoner. Short, powerful and beautiful writing. It's one of the /lit/ classics.
