Young 20s here, behind on my reading and education. Had a realization that reading and learning is fun, etc.and that I need to get caught up.
Any literary recommendations?

If your behind on reading I suggest you read Swanns Way as a vocabulary primer and then start with The Republic. Just keep vocabulary lists and take notes for any complex arguments or plot.

Read Star Wars but buy the Barnes and Noble Leatherbound Classics Edition. Trust me I know what I'm talking about...Also buy Dune, the Barnes and Noble edition of course.

What kind of reading do you like?

Anything really, was just hoping for the 'fundamentals' or 'must reads' that people generally recommend. I've started reading Swanns Way.

Depends on where you want to go in life at this time. Lots of great book to choose from. Do try to avoid bad fluff (as there’s lots of good fluff to choose from too)

Something I wish I spent more time reading in the past is Le Guin’s books. She’s great.
Also this book. I know my mother would have loved it.
