Hey /lit/ what books should I read to become a certified patrician?

My journal, but don't just read it, live by it.

The meme trilogy

>>7362383
The Summa Theologica by Ansem of Cranberries

all of them

>>7362383
Blooms Canon, 4 Great Chinese Novels, the Holy Books of the great religions, every book represented here http://www.greatillustratedclassics.com/ and here http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/ and here http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-nonfiction/

Then go through the male nobel winners and read the work they are best known for. At that point, you will be so sick of reading what you are supposed to anything you want to read is patrician.

Start with the Greeks

Read what you want. The standard of literacy and exposure to literary culture in the western world today is so abysmally low that you'll probably benefit immensely from reading on the /lit/ starter kit.

Or start with the Greeks if you're not a fucking pleb.

Thanks for the replies, folks! OP here. Will reading all the books in (pic related) make me patrician? Just started American Psycho and finished (April fools) and (Morning) chapters. Recieved Mieville's Perdido Street Station, The City and the City and Embassytown today. Gravity's Rainbow, Infinite Jest and Dune are on the way and would probably receive them end of this week or next… Any suggestions?

Infinite Jest is not patrician, I don't know how it ever got perceived that way. It's literally try-hard garbage. Gravity's Rainbow, Moby-Dick and Blood Meridian are all endeared American novels in Ivy League universities. We look at people who read infinite Jest as either 1) state school kids or 2) community college intellectuals
This board doesn't even know what patrician means.

I have heard IJ is ridiculously brilliant so just curious to actually explore it. Anyway thanks for the reply, sir/madam.
