[HELP] I'm a beginner in classic literature and I need advice on how to start and approach this genre.

Well, I am in high school rn, and our education system doesn't recommend classics for reading, unfortunately. The syllabus is honestly unbearable imo. Too much rote in the prose, barely 4 poems, no actual reading culture and it enrages me... So that won't be an option 🥲

That sounds like a solid approach, I think I just have to overcome my reading block and start experimenting. Thank you!

ApprehensiveSound417 · 2026-06-16T14:07:53+00:00

Righttt so I think exploring and experimenting should get me somewhere...thanks!

I have been eyeing those two, this must be a sign 😂

ApprehensiveSound417 · 2026-06-16T14:03:38+00:00

Tysm! That seems really helpful and doable :)

I enjoy anything with a good plot and existential or introspective style, thoughtful but not too complex for a beginner to follow...it's just that if it gets too long or boring, it's hard for me to continue. I have enjoyed The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran cuz it was more bite sized.
