Hello, i'll be frank as opposed to folks on here i'm literary retarded.
I read maybe a book or two a year (I know depressing) i realize this and i want to start reading.
What are some good books that I could begin to read now so that later I can start reading deeper, heavier hitting books? (not the normie shite)
Thank You!

Not sure if you've read it yet, but I just started 1984 by George Orwell. Started off a little slow but it's starting to pick up some traction. I like it thus far.

Honestly, the greeks.
It's a meme here for a reason, and especially if you want it to 'prepare' you for more difficult books.
I'd suggest the odyssey, illiad and some plays (oidipus, for example). and if you're not feeling the greeks you can go for any other cookie-cutter starting book, like 1984, brave new world, the stranger etc.
