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.

Count of Monte Cristo is a great jumping off point if you don't like literature in the first place. It's a slow start but once he escapes prison the book is a real page turner. Highly recommend it.
Leave Les Mis last until you've built up a tolerance. I love long old books but even I'm having a hard time getting through it.
