Hello.
This is the first time i've been on /lit/
I don't know what to expect or what to discuss, because of my lacking knowledge. I've only read 5 Books in my life. What advice would you give me as a newcomer?

Check the wiki. The order goes "start with the Greeks, Resume with the Romans, Continue with the Christians".

desu if you haven't read much, I would suggest simpler books than the greeks. Namely, 1984, Brave New World, Catcher in the Rye, American Psycho, etc. It's better to start with high school tier books to get a sense of how books "work". Then you move on to the Greeks.
