The one for the novels top 100 still makes the effort to make a new thread every so often but every ignores them.

Alright can someone give me the top 5 most interesting books out of this list for me to read first?
I already read:
The Catcher in the Rye
Lord of the Flies
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
The Bible
Animal Farm
East of Eden
Huckleberry Finn
The Iliad
The Old Man and the Sea
Franny and Zooey
Walden
Harry Potter
A Clockwork Orange
The Hobbit
The Odyseey
The Divine Comedy
Hamlet
1984
The Great Gatsby
The Trial

>>17118800
>The Bible
>The Old Man and the Sea
>The Divine Comedy
>Huckleberry Finn
>The Iliad & The Odyseey

Those. Hamlet is a fan favorite for a reason, but it's not the best Shakespeare play and you'll get more out of the bigger works. With the Bible it helps to have a decent commentary next to it because there's a lot of historical and literary context you'll miss out on just trying to read it like any other book. I recommend Wycliffe's
