I’m excited to get into reading this book by Donna Tartt, but I’ve been told that the book mentions a lot of classic books. Should I read any specific book before “The Secret History”? I’m not asking if I need to read some books to understand “The Secret History”. I’m asking if “The Secret History” contains spoilers of other books.

I know about it mentioning a bunch of classics like Inferno by Dante, Ivanhoe, The Invisible Man, Paradise Lost, Vanity Fair, Treasure Island, etc. Can I read it knowing I won’t jump into spoilers or is it better for me to wait till I read these before?

    I don’t remember spoilers - in general I wouldn’t worry about them for things like Paradise Lost or Dante anyway.
