Really I should say anything written before 1900. Try Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. If it's too hard for you to read, try Mark Twain or Charles Dickens. Of course the Bible if you're a Christian, or even if not. Shakespeare is the absolute best literature, but difficult. The main thing, take yourself out of this time.
Also try War and Peace a saga about life in Russia and it's response to Napoleon. Herodotus, The father of history, or Thucydides, the first critical historian. Collected letters of Abraham Lincoln. in all depends on your interests. I could go on all day but I hope you get the idea.
Hey anon, can you recommend your top classical literature picks?
