I am going to say what sounds stupid. Get a list of classic fiction. Cross off anything still in copyright. Read. There is an assumption today that everything can be known and expressed. Great authors know that isn't true. They lead you somewhere where you might catch a glimpse. Out of copyright because even so they are still being sold. I am not suggesting a list because it would be mine, and contentious.
