Jane Austin’s books
I have Anna Karenina on my list of books to read this year. I know it’s going to be a hefty thing to take on
@Jesi it’s so worth the effort ?
Pride & Prejudice.
I plan to read War & Peace this year but it’s somewhat daunting
I read it last year. Good but very long . On my list is Madam Bovery
@Deborah great book
The picture of Dorian gray
long but my favourite is The Count of Monte Cristo
Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, any Dickens
Crime and Punishment
Les Miserables
The Three Musketeers
The Count of Monte Cristo. One of my favourites.
Anything by Jane Austen or Thomas Hardy
Jane Erye
Rebecca
Rebecca
Count of monte Cristo
For the Good of the Cause, Solzhenitsyn.
Illiad, lord of the flies, little women, wuthering heights, war and peace, Les mis, the alchemist, catcher in the rye
@Tavia I started Catcher in the Rye but couldn’t get into it…. must try again soon ?
I know the feeling.. I started a book and couldn’t get into it.. Gonna try again later.. I think it depends on how much I liked the book I finished.. I wanted those to go on.. So had to stop..
I loved gone with the wind and Jane Eyre
Ivanhoe
The Scarlet Letter
The Woman in White.
Grapes of wrath
Pride and prejudice is free on Apple Books right now.
Jane Eyre
Wuthering heights and Rebecca
Don Quixote
Remembrance of the things past
I don’t know if 1984 is considered a classic but it is an amazing read.
In case not, I highly suggest The Brothers Karamazov, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Madame Bovary
I love Anthony Trollope’s Barchester Chronicles.
Gulliver’s Travels, The Invisible Man (not the H.G. Wells version). D.H. Lawrence, Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, James Baldwin, Henry James.
I found Alexander Dumas ( Count of Monty Criso) and the Bronte Sisters books very enjoyable (Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre)
les miserables
hunchback of notre dame
to kill a mockingbird
crime and punishment
Wuthering Heights Jane Eyre and Tess of the D’urbervilles are my favourites x
Siddhartha, Steppenwolf, the Glass Bead Game, any Hermann Hesse
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Eyre
Both wonderful reads ?
Tolstoy’s War and Peace
Thanks y’all for all the wonderful recommendations!! I can’t wait to get started!! 🙂
Wuthering Heights is a must.
Rebecca, Wuthering Heights, Gone with the Wind
Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Great Expectations, Little Women, and so many more. Some are like old friends to me, and I hope they will become the same to you.
Emma by Jane Austen. I loved this book, it was the first Jane Austen book I read. It’s charming.
That is a great idea. Think I will do the same!
I’ve never made it all the way through Anna katenina and I’ve read a lot of classics in my time

Madame Bovary
Anna Karenina all great. I’ve just started War & Peace
Great choice with AK ….. Kill a Mocking Bird is wonderful.
