Reply to What books should I read to become well read? What books should I start with and which books should I avoid until my reading ability has improved? by joekidd1916
You should read books that are interesting to you. You will then become well read in topics that interest you.
That said, it’s always a safe start to read some classics. Finish Moby Dick and see what you will gravitate towards then.

You can always start with an idea. It could be a detective novel. But there’s nothing stopping you from mixing it with romance, travel, horror and whatever. To me, the best books are kinda impossible to categorize.
