Hello all, does anybody have any classic recommendations for a beginner?
The Great Gatsby! It’s one of my favorites ?
agreed!
@Brandi yes, I’ve wanted to try it out for so long! Thank you for reminding me ?
To Kill a Mockingbird
I’ve read it already but thank you! My first classic. 5 out of 5 for sure!?❤️
The Picture Of Dorian Gray ♥
@Fatima thanku so much! ? I’ve just read the summary on goodreads and it sounds so incredible!!
Fahrenheit 451! Love that book x ?
1984 by George Orwell
To Kill a Mockingbird
1984
Wuthering Heights
@Delger-Ochir Thank you! ?? I’ve read ‘To Kill a mockingbird’ but not 1984 or Wuthering Heights, but they both sound really interesting for sure!
To Kill a Mockingbird
Watership Down
@Kira Watership down, yes! Always been interested in it but I keep forgetting to pick it up. The newest cover is so pretty! Thanks Kira?
Anne of Green Gables
@Tricia I found this book in my cupboard the other day so am definitely getting round to it soon! Thanks so much Tricia?
@Sianie I thought I’d hate it like a lot of the classics I tried last year but it was really sweet!
Dracula is great fun and fairly spooky even now
@Jamie oh really? that sounds like my cup of tea?
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
I second this
I love horses so I’m a little bias, lol. I even have one of the new editions and it’s a really nice looking book.
Animal Farm or Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Flies is a good one!
Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and anything by Jane Austin
the curious incidence of the dog in the nighttime.
Flowers for Algernon
@Nikki I’m going to go and read the summary now but from what I’ve heard, it definitely sounds like my cup of coffee?
Awww … one of my absolute favourites!
Frankenstein. If you think you know the story, you really don’t until you’ve read Mary Shelley. Or, if you’re looking for a story that’ll suck you in, read A Christmas Carol (any time of year).
@Gareth Wow, I’ve never really heard alot about it except for an adaptation. I had no clue it was so different written? Thank you Gareth! Xx
the art of racing in the rain
@Marianne Thank you! Writing that one down for sure?❤️
The Hobbit
Anne of Green Gables
Black Beauty
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Wow thanks to you all for the recommendations! ?
