hows your greek?
t-thanks...
i can barely speak french
with what?
THE GREEKS DESU~
WHICH ONES
i need some specifics i have a shitty canadian university education
Greeks are a good place
Some Popular theology
Reading Joyce in publication order is a great crash course (or even master course) in literature as an art
Start with the Greeks is one of Veeky Forums's most hallowed memes. But it is really good advice if you want to get a foundation for good literature. See the attached chart.
Paper or kindle doesn't matter despite whatever paper snobs will tell you. Do whatever you prefer. I mostly read online.
The Odyssey
Any myths really, Greek lore is very entertaining
thanks dudes
Another chart with more Greek plays on it. You would probably greatly enjoy Sophocles and co.
I wouldn't recommend sticking on it too long if you're not into philosophy however, move chronologically on in the western canon with the Decameron, The Divine Comedy, Don Quixote, etc. Also, Titus Groan is probably the most Veeky Forums fantasy out there if you haven't read it already
thanks
where is a good place to download books btw
Ignore the last book on the last, but otherwise this is a pretty good list of canonical classic works. Don't take everything in these charts as essential, once you have a foundation, pick those you're interested in. Also you should check Veeky Forums's wiki. There's a lot of good recommendations there categorized by genre.
start with the lovely craftah
you can remove Les Miserables, Poe, Invisible Man, and Marquez
All of them are available for free online in text form and pdf form. No point in wasting space on your drives. Or you could buy hard copies to read in public so qt hipster grills think you're intelligent desu.
bookzz.org
Check the sticky next time friend-o. Undoubtedly you will want some translations for the Iliad and the Odyssey, Fagles for beginners and Lattimore if you're already well-versed on poetry
>Removing Les Mis
Nigger what are you doing. And I'd rather Mark Twain be removed rather than Poe or Ellison
Who the fuck removes Poe? Knock out Twain or some other overrated hack, not a genius of horror that set the groundwork for entire genres in centuries to come.
>Poe better than Twain
I hope you're European

Filtered.
I love it when trips expose themselves. Makes it easier to filter them.
Poe is for Frenchies and 15 year old goth girls. Comparing him to Twain is obscene
My diary. Paper.
Listen to this guy, I've seen him around places.
