Hello,
I've recently started to be into literature. The only problem is that I have no clue as to where I should start. I'd appreciate some suggestions of great works that'll help me delve into the realm of great literature.

Great Expectations - Charles ens
Oedipus the King - Sophocles
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathon Swift
Leaves of Grass - Walt Whitman
Moby - Herman Melville
The Merchant of Venice - William Shakespear

Charles Dickens
Moby

Why did it change what I put in there and thank you for correcting it.

It takes out any string d and I and c and k because someone at AMHD decided that it was inappropriate slang. So I think it was Curly Ben who told me who to get around the censors.

Recent novel I enjoyed (haven't seen the movie) is Life of Pi.
I like all of Kennedy's Albany series of novels.
Biography: Genius, about Feynman the physicist, and The Man Who Knew Infinity, about Ramanajuan the mathematician.
Dorothy Sayers mysteries, much more than just mysteries.
Any novel by John Grisham, mostly with legal plots.
Off-beat combination of philosophy and psychology and anthropology, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind - a theory about man's beginnings of a sense of self.
(I haven't read much in years, but used to!)

But it made me look stupid. I hate looking stooooopid.

I ranted about this just last week!

My favorite John Grisham is The Client. When I got to the last 150 pages, I couldn't put it down.

John keats for poetry.

East of Eden. Best. Novel. Ever.

I haven't read Life of Pi, but the movie is fantastic.

One of my favorite pieces, being from the South of the US, is Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. Hard read if you have a hard time with dialect, but a good read nonetheless.

About 20 years ago I bought the complete works of William Shakespeare. I only read 6 of them. It was a tough read.

It helps to watch movies made of each one before you read. It's amazing how many were. (Of course I watched some and then never got around to the reading part.. )

The Merchant of Venice was my favorite. Taming of the Shrew was good as well. Some were just plain difficult to get through. But I felt cultured - whatever that is.

My favourite is julius caesar its very intense and dark.
