There is a used bookstore in Cobelskill NY that I like. They have a “classics” section. I would just buy from that section sometimes just because the title was something I heard of. They tend to not be plot driven formula written books. They are great. I also started reading authors Steinbeck, Vonnegut, Twain and of course Pratchet. Being well read takes years. I fortunately was a 3rd shift boiler operator and had other boring jobs with a lot of down time. Now that I’m retired I find I don’t have as much time to read. Because of these issues I have read hundreds if not a thousand or more books. So start at the beginning and make your way through. Stay away as best you can from plot driven mass market books. If you can.
