Choose how I kick off winter reading this weekend

I have a decent backlog of things that don't particularly interest me should be read so you can look down on people who haven't read them and scoff at how they aren't even familiar with the classics. It's time to start ticking more off of that list and none of them sound particularly enjoyable, so I'm crowdsourcing this to !bookworms and other homosexuals.

What first? This is by no means an exhaustive list but I've narrowed it down to what seems least unappealing.

Les Mis

Jane Austen collection

The complete Shakespeare

La Morte d'Arthur

Outlaws of the Marsh (🇨🇳)

Count of Monte Cristo

Charlotte/Emily Brontë collection

@X you voted for the Chinese mountain of a book

I know nothing about it but I bought the set because it seemed enticing at the time and I was interested in broadening my horizons but when it arrived it got shelved and I forgot all about it and it doesn't spark joy anymore

Redpill me on the marsh

I haven't :( it always seemed too confusing

108 heroes seems like an exciting book though and I feel better about it now

Read The Civil Servants Notebook, insane chinese novel based off their gov office politics.

"This system of bureaucracy and power worship has become our cultural tradition. It is inside our bones." The Old Leader is a fan of the "urine cure." To show loyalty, his unfortunate underling overcomes his own disgust and drinks his own urine for five years. He's rewarded with a promotion.
