How to Start Reading the Classics

The world of classic literature can seem like an intimidating one at times. Countless titles, each as timeless as the last, and each every bit as worth the effort to read as the next. It may be difficult to decide where to begin, but fear not! Here are four easy steps to help you start reading the classics today.


Figure out what you already like. Odds are you’ve already got some topics of interest, or perhaps even a writing style you enjoy, which means you can begin with the classics that you may be more inclined to like.

Make a list. Once you’ve defined what you’d like to read, go ahead and make a list of the novels that fit the bill. You may find that the quantity of classics on your list will be less intimidating than you think.


Make time to read. Now that you’ve got the first book on your list, it’s important to actually make time to read it. Make it a ritual, one you enjoy, and you’ll find yourself trying to get more sessions scheduled in before you know it.

Don’t be afraid to move on. Not every book will be for you, and that’s ok. If one of the classics just isn’t doing it for you, there’s no shame in putting it down and moving on to the next. You can always come back to it later.
