The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. It’s a short, easy read and has a great story. Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie is also interesting. Dracula by Bram Stoker if you want some vampires. That one’s easy to read but interesting especially with the journal style
Jane Eyre….I feel like some classics are hard to understand for people that don’t read them often and then they say its too wordy or boring. I feel like anything by jane Austen or jane eyre are easy enough to help you ease into classics
A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Lord Of The Flies by William Golding, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
The Time Machine HG Wells, Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien, Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court Mark Twain, anything by Edgar Allen Poe, Goodman Brown by Nathanial Hawthorn (short story), The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner (really anything by Faulkner), Oliver Twist Charles Dickens,
@Sumpath You’re welcome! As a beginner, I would really try to access shorter novels that you find easily digestible. If you’re having trouble with one, abandon that for now, and try something else. You need to build your stamina first.
Tolstoy, Verne, Lovecraft, Poe, Shakespeare, Shelley, Stocker, Hemingway, and many more.
THANKS
