How to Begin Reading Classics in English Literature or literature in any other language?

In the second episode of the first season of English Literature: The Deep Talks with Dr Alok Mishra, Dr Mishra discusses how one can develop the habit of reading acknowledged classics in literature. He lays out a plan that can help any ordinary reader, regardless of their literary background, develop the art of reading serious literature. This involves being patient with the gradual unfolding of the plot and sticking to the reading list.

Dr Mishra emphasises finishing the first classic book of one’s choice, then the second, preferably by the same author or in the same genre, and then the third. By reading three books from the first page to the last, a reader will be in a good position to start an adventure in the world of classic literature.
