All right, I'm very well versed into the worlds of cinema and music, but my book reading culture just lacks.
So I decided to make an effort and read all those classics - Both for entertainment value and also to become a more "cultured" person.
I have read very little - One or two novels from the likes of Verne and Poe.. So, I need recomendations, where should I start???
I thought I'd start cronologically, beginning with the odyssey/illiad, and moving my way thru times..? But beginning with those should maybe, too much, since these are massive books? And also, I would take a long time to arrive at 18th/19th century england which is what I'm really interested?
So, I thought of beggining with Charles Dickens, of whom I've heard so much praise? I want to begin with the more well known writers and move away to the more obscure ones much later, after I read the most well known ones.
What do you guys think??? I also want to read something from Nietzsche. So what do you think I should do? I'll be waiting some answers to go to ebay and buy some books.
Thank you all,
Gabriel.
