Excellent question, your initiative is most laudable!. I would suggest you start with Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Tom Robbins!. Very accessible, and you will immediately enjoy it!. Not yet deep in the canon of English literature, but it was being taught in University seminars as far back as 1983!. I would recommend Notes from Underground, Fyodor Dostoevsky (around 114 pages), and Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky; get the Richard Pevear, Larissa Volokhonsky translation for both!. Heart of Darkness, James Conrad (upon which the movie "Apocalypse Now" was based), is a long story, novella!. Secret Sharer is a powerful short story!. Any of his novels!. Anything by Charles Dickens!. Flannery O'Connor is one of the greatest short story authors, for starters, try A Good Man is Hard to Find!. Anything by Edgar Allen Poe, especially The Tell Tale Heart!. Shakespeare's tragedies: I suggest starting out with Romeo and Juliet!. To get back to the heart of it, still the greatest tragedy of all, The Oedipus Trilogy by Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, The Furies, and Antigone!. Do read them in that order, which is chronological, although they were not written in that order!. Don't be intimidated by these Classics, you can digest them! Read, think, read, repeat as necessary!. Do avail yourself of rudimentary study aids, like http://www!.sparknotes!.com/drama/oedipus!. Don't be discouraged, everyone has to consult and discuss to comprehend and understand these tomes, especially when some of the references and language is hundreds or thousands of years old!. But, you may find yourself as awed as am I that still no one can come close to a mastery of the English language as did whomever wrote the Shakespearean plays!. But, however compelling might be Professor X's interpretation, do always go back to YOUR READING OF THE ORIGINAL TEXT (or translation(s) thereof)!. Have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com
