I started last year. I am new to reading classic lit, before that I mainly read fantasy. It got boring though, so now I'm here.

im 18 and only got into classic lit about a year ago.
unironically read paradise lost. its the book that made me understand the beauty of language. you dont need to be religious or even a native english speaker to get it.
pro tip: knowing some of the history of its creation and john milton made it even more epic for me.

This. But Gravity's Rainbow if it is too overwhelming and need a break for something lighter.
