Does lit have a starter chart for nonfiction? I've been reading mostly fiction in the last 4 years and I'm geting bored. I've read some Greek and Roman philosophy in university and that's about it. Recommendations?

Are you being serious?

What sort of nonfiction are we talking about here?

Philosophy has a linear progression because, relatively speaking, very few people are philosophers compared to writers of fiction or nonfiction.

What sort of nonfiction? Self-help? Political commentary on Neo-Liberal practices? Why Baseball is on the decline? What is the impact of technology on Generation Z?

I suggest you gather a few topics you want to read about and then go from there.

Yes. I thought there might be a chart for essential nonfiction works, things like Plato's Dialogues, Il Principe but entry level. I'm a pleb and I don't really have particular interests.

Pleb.

You need to specify. I know some biology, psychology and political science books.

Fiction books are about imaginary events. Non-fictional ones are about literally everything else. Philosophy, art theory, politics, self-help and every type of science imaginable (history, math, physics, linguistics, logic etc) can be the theme. Vergil even wrote an epic poem about agriculture. What the fuck do you actually want?

Not really how it works.

If you use wikipedia recommended reading/sources for a certain subject, and then crosscheck with citations on jstor and oxfordbibliographies, you can find the best, or at least most cited works on any given subject.

Thanks for the suggestion.
>you can find the best, or at least most cited works on any given subject
I thought maybe lit created a chart with something like this, similar to the entry level or top 100.
