My favourite classics that I think everyone should read
3
Moody, Contemplative, Challenging. Frankenstein (or The Modern Prometheus) is my favourite classic. It is simply perfect
Frankenstein: The 1818 Text by Mary Shelley
Short yet powerful and haunting. A sole girl is the last person in the world after a dystopian world is destroyed. Definitely worth the read.
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
A must-read in this day and age.
1984 by George Orwell
A wonderful book about horrible people to make you ponder what love actually means
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
If you like romance with banter, insults, drama, and plot twists, this classic is for you. The writing is impeccable too. Obviously.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Major themes of beauty and morality. A wonderful read that makes you ponder beauty standards and expectations in modern times.
Penguin Classics the Picture of Dorian Gray
