I like romance but I read twilight and didn't feel much and was not really interested in reading other parts. I was in an indifferent phase maybe that's why or maybe I am old for that stuff (in early adult stage) but currently life is starting to get on track . And I want to pick up reading again . Everyday. I'm not an avid reader but want to become one. i have read 10 fiction i guess in total . I'm able to understand easy works, not yet reached the difficult literature . I want to read shakespeare, sylvia plath, franz kafka, rilke, .. etc i want to get into poetry. I LOVE ARTS . I want to feel that love again and grow it, please suggest some relevant books.

The god of small things! – quite a difficult read but beautifully written
There is a fantastic poetry anthology; a series in fact, but the first volume is called “staying alive”
Grab a copy & it will give you a wonderful selection of poems to read. Fiction wise, why not begin with some short stories? I would recommend: Flannery O’Connor, William Maxwell, Angela Carter, Shirley Jackson, John Cheever. There’s loads of splendid things to discover 👍
