What are some entry-level /lit/ books from the period between the Greeks and the 19th century? This isn't covered much in the charts.
That's because the chart is shit.
Try these:
The Saga of the Volsungs
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
The Golden Ass - Apuleius
But don't worry too much about difficulty, sometimes it's good to jump into a "hard" book. Even if you don't understand it all, you can always reread.

I didn't mean the books were shit, but I think, as a "Starter Kit" it needs a better range of books.

The only starter you need.I should have started with the Greeks

The only worthwhile Greek literature is Homer.

Deeply amusing bawdy comedic romp through the 30 years war as told by a contemporary
The Stranger, Dubliners, Notes from Underground, The Trial, Tolstoy's short stories (The Cossacks, Death of Ivan Ilych), Stoner and A Hero of Our Time are all great entry level books.

Never fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread.

Why dont you throw in some other great books like 1984 and Brave New World, or some other brilliant contribution like Lord of the Flies. Show us the depth of your knowledge of entry level lit between the Greeks and the 19th century, pleb.

Your suggestions of Stoner and The Stranger were particularly brave and Avant-garde. So few people pick them as works of note between the Greeks and the 19th century.

You've obviously not read any others then. Aeschylus and Sophocles are amazing to name just two.
