Hope this gets to the Danish new anon from the thread that just got nuked.

I'm not an anon from the last thread, but I have a bit of advice. The other anons are recommending great books, but nevertheless if you haven't really dealt with hard prose they may be difficult. Here's a set of books that are sort of "intro literature"--serious classics that are slightly more digestible. You've probably read some of these (they tend to get taught in high school), but it might be good to knock a more few off--they're not very long, they're good, and (especially at the top of the list) they're culturally important.
>Great Gadsby
>To Kill a Mockingbird
>Catcher in the Rye
>Mice and Men /& Grapes of Wrath /& the Pearl
>Lord of the Flies
>Huck Finn /& Tom Sawyer
>Fahrenheit 451 /& Martian Chronicles
>Animal Farm (also by Orwell)
>Pride and Prejudice (a good transition book out of this category; simple but engaging plot w/ medium difficulty prose)
>Picture of Dorian Grey (another good transition book. It's a classic, people like it, I can't stand it)

All this is of course assuming you want to read the cannon in terms of novels/literature. If you want history or philosophy or some more specific thing it's a different conversation.
