So I've only gotten into reading rather recently and I'm looking to expand, I've gone through the wiki but I cant just be given a giant list and pick from it, i need recommendations. this is the starter kit, the red ones are the ones I've already read and the ones with blue circles are ones I plan on reading rather soon. What do you guys think I should read next?
Joyce

Brave New World is great. Don't listen to these plebs who say it's shit.

I'd say out of those you definitely should read invisible man, lolita, and dorian gray. fear and loathing and slaughterhouse are fun breezy reads too, doesn't take much to go through them. overall though you could move into the alt starter kit now.

this is a really good list, but shouldn't Notes From Underground and Last Days of Socrates be something else from the same author? Like either C&P or The Idiot for Dosto and Meno or Eurythphro for Plato

Isn't that edition euthyphro, apology, crito, and phaedo? either way I think hackett has something that includes all that and meno too with a good translation on top of it.

It's for people who have just started reading, or people who want to elevate beyond rubbish books. If you want to run marathons you don't start by running marathons. You start small. You don't start reading with GR. Most of the books on that list are okay. For the most part that are easy to parse the sentences, the thematic material isn't too abstract or esoteric and is presented in a relatively easy way, and it gives you an introduction to several authors that /lit/ talks about a lot.

Definitely read invisible man next. It's a really nice read, not dense, but very moving at parts.
