I'm pretty new to /lit/, and I'm going to the library in about a week. What should I check out when I'm there? I have Life of Pi and Dune out atm
Start with the Greeks.
Read the Sticky

I've done that and I've browsed around a little, and I've come up with a list of sorts, just stuff that looked interested that I jotted down
The Basics (Ulysses, Infinity Jest, On The Road, etc.)
Borroughs - Naked Lunch, Junk & Queer
Carrol - Basketball Diaries
Eugenides - Virgin Suicides & Middlesex
Gaarder - Sohpie's World
Banks - The Crow Road
Proust - In Search Of Lost Time
Gaarder - Sohpie's World
Am I looking good? I also snagged Malcom X's autobiography and a collection of Poe stories from a friends house, I don't know if it's everything by him but it seems like most

this is a total mishmash of complexity or 'difficulty' of reading. read the malcolm x and poe, the eugenides, the kerouac. save burroughs, proust and joyce for later. wallace is fine, recommend the non-fiction. that should keep you for a while. there are flowcharts somewhere in the wiki, if you're inclined for a meme /mu/ approach to things. otherwise look towards the influencers and the influenced and find something else.

My main board is /mu/ so I guess that explains why I jumped on what I see in a lot of charts. Thanks for the advice
