Hi,
Starting next week, I plan to read one book each week until the end of the year.
I’m also doing this with albums and movies (I’ll post separately for those), but right now I’m focusing on books that have left a lasting impact on literature and are considered must-reads. I’m open to any genre – what classic books should I start with?
Thanks for your recommendations!

How much have you read before? If this is your first time really reading at all, then Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is probably the best thing to start with. But I’ll also suggest Brave New World, Zorba the Greek, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and the Stranger by Camus
The Odyssey
1984
The Old Man And The Sea
Don Quixote
The Great Gatsby
The Iliad
Moby Dick
Ulysses
Well a lot of classics are long and dense and you’d be doing them a disservice by trying to cram them in in a week. Like, brothers karamazov is amazing. Reading it in a week would suck. But it fits your criteria here. So I guess id say the odyssey, the stranger, the metamorphosis, the picture of Dorian gray, 1984, animal farm, Fahrenheit 451, to kill a mockingbird, and Beowulf are all shorter classics
