I mean there was specifically two slots that I had free to choose and I did decide against them yes
I was actually close to picking animal farm and then I remembered my attempt at reading 1984 which did not go well because I got bored very quickly

I was close to picking up The Oddysey by Homer and I actively chose not to because I didn’t think I’d be able to read greek literature!!

by easier to read I thought you were making a comment as if my reading comprehension is not sufficiently high to enjoy reading “difficult” books

it’s not a matter of whether you can understand the words
it’s a matter of whether the text is approachable
I intentionally picked all the least dry stuff I could lol

I was specifically buying all of those books because they were limbus company source material. the only ones that aren’t are sherlock holmes and the picture of dorian grey which I chose because I had read they have dark themes and I like horror
like your recommendation of orwell does suit me and I would’ve picked it if it hadn’t been for my bad experience with 1984 which I explicitly listen to an audiobook of to fall asleep to because I get bored very easily from it

who the fuck even is this
search says french novelist. tragedy
actually a decent recommendation if I was at all interested in the ongoings of late 1800s America which I am not because I am not american

I do appreciate your recommendations but those authors just aren’t for me
I’m sure their books are good

First one is the author of Frankenstein, and the second one is the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
They’ve done more than just that, but those are what they’re best known for.
also Around the World in Eighty Days

Did not know Verne wrote that.
Read it back in sixth grade and really liked it.
