Machado de Assis
Anything by John Steinbeck . East of Eden is a personal favorite .
My favourite too. Sweet Thursday is pretty sweet too
I really love Cannery Row too.
The Brothers Karamazov! A slow start, but it turns into a page-turning mystery :). Also War and Peace – it’s phenomenal.
A Tale of Two Cities
Count of Monte Cristo, Frankenstein.
Loved East of Eden and Vamity Fair
East of Eden is a favourite of mine too

The Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway, a quick read, excellent. The Picture of Dorian Gray, wow.
Lolita-Nabokov, the Stranger- Camus, Metamorphosis-Kafka
The Picture of Dorian Gray.
East of Eden, Great Expectations
I just bought Catch 22. Never read it, but will now in anticipation of the upcoming Hulu mini series, with Hugh Laurie
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë ❤️
O Pioneers!
The sound and The fury, william faulkner
Dickens-Great Expectations, Bleak House, Tale of Two Cities or just about anything he wrote. Dumas-Three Musketeers, Verne-20000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey To The Center Of The Earth.
I’ve always heard A Tale of Two Cities is one of his great books. I have an epub copy but haven’t read it yet, if it were a real book it would have been full of dust by now. lol
My only reading goal this year is to read at least one classic a month, so far this year I’ve read, The Invisible Man, Robinson Crusoe, The Lark by Edith Nesbit and this month I’m reading Beloved by Toni Morrison. All great reads.
That’s a great reading goal. I think I will copy you. lol
How Green Was My Valley, My Antonia.
The Great Gatsby
The Scarlet Pimpernel! One of my favs and my husband loved it too!
Wonderful book, and the movie with Leslie Howard was great, too.
Isn’t that a Daffy Duck skit? ?
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
I love this book! It was assigned to us in 7th grade and I hated it. However, when I read it as an adult I fell in love with it. I need to go find my copy so I can reread.
Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice.
The Count of Monte Cristo
Madame Bovary by Flaubert and everything by Dickens or Jane Austen.
Dracula, Frankenstein
Rebeccca , The Scarlet Letter, 1984
Yes! to Rebecca and the Scarlet Letter. So-so for 1984.
@Robin I agree that 1984 does not measure up to the other two. The reason I want to put 1984 out there is that I think we’re living it??
Can’t argue with you there.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Jane Eyre is a definite yes.
East of Eden
Jane Eyre is a beautiful story!
Anything by Mark Twain
I read Far From the Madding Crowd lately and I loved it
Anna Karenina
Tale of Two Cities, Frankenstien
Frankenstein was probably my favourite read last year ?
A few of my favourites are:
Rebecca by du Maurier
1984 by Orwell
Of mice and men by Steinbeck
The great gatsby by Fitzgerald
All quiet on the western front by Remarque
Crime and punishment by Dostoyevsky
Pride and prejudice by Austin
The hound of the Baskervilles by Conan Doyle
Catch 22 by heller
Frankenstein by Shelley
Dorian grey by Wilde
War of the worlds by Wells
Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury
The trial by Kafka
And I will stop now ? but maybe try the old man and the sea by Hemingway , short for a classic and nice easy read to get you into the genre
Now, I am in a dilemma on what book to choose. HAHAHA.
Dracula, The Great Gatsby, Pride and Prejudice.
Also , forgot to add , iBooks have lots of free classic books available.
Gone with the wind
Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein, Dracula, Picture of Dorian Gray, Count of Monte Cristo.
