What are some "pleb friendly but good"-tier books?
anything by Camus
>>7422584
None, git gud.
>>7422584
Entry-level lit. Read the sticky.
>>7422599
>the books on that chart
>good
If you're looking for a starting point, I'd have to suggest the Greeks.
>>7422584
Slaughterhouse-Five.
A Confederacy of Dunces.
Brave New World.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
The Things They Carried.
The Crying of Lot 49
>>7422587

2666
les miserables
count of monte cristo
house of leaves
crime and punishment
anything by kafka
>>7422640

>>7422607
seconded
>>7422920
"Believe" should be replaced with "start with the Greeks".
>>7422903
yes, plebs can like house of leaves
2666 is for /lit/ plebs not normie plebs
>>7422926
OK. Thanks.
Send em this. Start at Cake-level and ascend from plebdom.
>>7422926
feels bad man
>>7423108
these charts are the cancer of /lit/. books aren't video game levels
>>7423224
but it's right Tbh
you telling me you give the average 16 year old Ulysses?
they have to work their way up there.
>>7423366
There aren't any 16 year olds on this website
>>7423546
>>7422903
the high end of pleb.
Start with Catcher in the Rye.
Or just play video games and watch Transformers movies. No one is going to give a shit if you read book or not, and if you arent really interested, why bother trying to develop it as a hobby? They are virtually an infinate number of books, more than anyone could read in thier lifetime. If by now, you haven't found an author or a type of book you like, maybe you should just watch sports?
>>7423366
>'but it's right, to be honest"
expressng an opinion like it's an acknowledged, verifiable fact.
It doesn't express honesty. "I think Bill Cosby's dick tastes like bacon, desu' is honesty.
"your opionion is suck, desu'.
finnegans wake lol!
>>7423607
>what's the point of challenging yourself and growing as a person
/lit/ life-advice everyone
>>7424501
>challenging yourself and growing as a person
He fell for the capitalism meme.
>>7424504
lol no
>>7424514
You think you didn't but you did.
>>7424504
As opposed to marxism, which is wallowing in self-pity and being a useless overweight neckbeard, blaming others for his misfortune?
Sounds about right.
>>7422584
dostoevsky's shorts, gogol's shorts, pushkin's shorts.
>>7424517
There are practical and tangible benefits to improving yourself that have nothing to do with capitalism or being a "self made man" or whatever it is you're getting at.
>>7424559
lierally ideology: the post
>>7424590
Oh yr just trolling
Muh bad.
Carry on
>>7424559
>>7424504
>believing that people can't improve their own abilities through hard work
He fell for the aristocracy meme.
>>7423546
Do you actually believe this? I was on /lit/ when I was 16 and for some boards like /v/ I'm pretty sure the median age is 16 or 17
>>7424663
>believing that people can't improve their own abilities through hard work
>my ideology lens is so thick i can't even read and understand the context of 5 word post without reinterpreting it into something completely different but that falls squarely with what I understand to be 'bad'
i.e you misread it so hard you had to change the meaning of it just to be able to speak against it
fking lol

just started don quixote, im enjoying it so far.
wish me luck lads, its the longest book ive attempted to read. the hardest book ive read is probably lolita kek
>>7423108
>starting with Finnegans Wake
>>7422611
>A Confederacy of Dunces.
is shit. First book I bought when I got on /lit/ years ago and I regret spending the 2 dollars on it. If I wanted to watch a fat man humiliate himself I'd watch brony videos.
Why does /lit/ like reading boring as heck books made by hairy old men instead of fun, entertaining ones
>>7425756
good luck.
Its really good. You need to make sure to read everyday or close to that to make any serious progress though. It took me about 8 months or so but for some months I didn't read it at all. If I had read it for an hour or so every day consistently I probably could have read it in 6 to 8 weeks.
>>7426098
I'm a brony.
>>7424758
Don Quixote is quite simple, so is Proust, actually. typically the difficulty comes from length (proust) or just cultural differences ( don quixote ) definitely don quixote, once you get to the point where sancho panza thinks he's wise and constantly shits out those aphorisms, it really gets quite comical. i remember reading it and realizing "hey, this is supposed to be fucking FUNNY!" it smooth sailing after that. From what i've read of proust, it seems more to be a problem coming to grips with a stream of consciousness rather than any hugely difficult terms or references
>>7423607
>watch Transformers movies
no person who wants to get into movies should start with or ever watch Transformers. Literally the worst piece of shit movie industry has ever crapped out.
>>7423108
>1984 but no Brave New World
Disregarded.
