Will the atmosphere of American Suburbia sour my enjoyment of reading classic lit?
It's really the only thing that's prevented me from starting with the Greeks.

Just quit now before you humiliate yourself further.

I'd wager to say 35% are xanax addicts, 15% are oxycodone fiends, and some 10% are functional alcoholics.

No, you just need to pimp out your garage into the perfect litcave. I was worried about this same thing but after I decorated with tons of rugs, lava lamps, and a greywater jacuzzi I was able to sit down and power through Tom Clancy's entire oeuvre with no distractions.

This is poorly-layedout lower-middle or working-class subdivision. These exist in America, but subdivisions for people with a respectable income are made up of loops and cul-de-sac, which actually does make the whole thing nicer and more liveable because the houses don't all face thoroughfares.
Call these normie-traps, for people who could likely afford a small place in the country not too far off but get itchy at the though of not being constantly surrounded by other people and won't get an apartment because they have a compulsive need to have a "yard" full of dog shit and plastic crap.

Because it exemplifies the discomfiting, absurd waste inherent to capitalist society at every moment.

If anything reading the classics and Greeks should sour you on living in this "End of History" liberal-capitalist paradise.
And good. We need more malcontents to stir this complacent decay
