Oooh! I like most of the ones above that are mentioned although to be fair I have yet to read A Little Price, A Raisin in the Sun, and To Kill a Mockingbird and yes, I know that last one is considered to be THE BEST book of all time.
Some of my favorites not mentioned;
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Basically everything by the three Bronte sisters (Charlotte, Emily, and Anne) were great reads to me.
Everything Jane Austen wrote.
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. I know a lot of people either love or dislike Hardy and that is completely valid. He has a lot of novels but this one has to be my favorite that I've read by him so far.
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. I just read that last year and couldn't put it down. Really looking forward to reading Love in the Time of Cholera by him very soon.
Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
The War of the Worlds by HG Wells
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper
Lorna Doone by R. D. Blackmore
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. A lot of Gaskell's books are good.
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Probably not the best Dickens book to start out with (if you first start reading Dickens I'd say Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, or The Pickwick Papers are your best bet) but it is my favorite. Bleak House was also good.
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Granted, I doubt many schools would ever assign this one because it's such a lengthy novel, but despite it's thousand or so pages it is well worth reading and truly isn't as intimidating as you would imagine it to be.
*The Woman in Black by Susan Hill. Not sure if it's considered a classic but it is spooky season so it has to be mentioned! If you are into spooky books then I recommend this, most of Edgar Allan Poe's works (The Pit and the Pendulum being my personal fave, but I think everyone has a favorite Poe story =P) The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, and Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu.
Honorable mention; Greek plays. A lot of them are absolutely insane. And when I was in high school I know a lot of the students really loved reading Beowulf.
Hey so like many of you, I saw that article about how people are going into college having read no classic books. And believe it or not, I've been pissed about this for years. Like the article revealed, a good chunk of American Schools don't require students to actually read books, rather they just give them an excerpt and tell them how to feel about it. Which is bullshit.
So like. As a positivity post, let's use this time to recommend actually good classic books that you've actually enjoyed reading! I know that Dracula Daily and Epic the Musical have wonderfully tricked y'all into reading Dracula and The Odyssey, and I've seen a resurgence of Picture of Dorian Gray readership out of spite for N-tflix, so let's keep the ball rolling!
My absolute favorite books of all time are The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Classic psychological horror books about unhinged women.
I adore The Bad Seed by William March. It's widely considered to be the first "creepy child" book in American literature, so reading it now you're like "wow that's kinda cliche- oh my god this is what started it. This was ground zero."
I remember the feelings of validation I got when people realized Dracula wasn't actually a love story. For further feelings of validation, please read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. There's a lot the more popular adaptations missed out on.
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is an absolute gem of a book. It's a slow-build psychological study so it may not be for everyone, but damn do the plot twists hit. It's a really good book to go into blind, but I will say that its handling of abuse victims is actually insanely good for the time period it was written in.
Moving on from horror, you know people who say "I loved this book so much I couldn't put it down"? That was me as a kid reading A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Picked it up while bored at the library and was glued to it until I finished it.
Peter Pan and Wendy by JM Barrie was also a childhood favorite of mine. Next time someone bitches about Woke Casting, tell them that the original 1911 Peter Pan novel had canon nonbinary fairies.
Watership Down by Richard Adams is my sister Cori's favorite book period. If you were a Warrior Cats, Guardians of Ga'Hoole or Wings of Fire kid, you owe a metric fuckton to Watership Down and its "little animals on a big adventure" setup.
A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry was a play and not a book first, but damn if it isn't a good fucking read. It was also named after a Langston Hughes poem, who's also an absolutely incredible author.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a book I absolutely adore and will defend until the day I die. It's so friggin good, y'all, I love it more than anything. You like people breaking out of fascist brainwashing? You like reading and value knowledge? You wanna see a guy basically predict the future of television back in 1953? Read Fahrenheit.
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee are considered required reading for a reason: they're both really good books about young white children unlearning the racial biases of their time. Huck Finn specifically has the main character being told that he will go to hell if he frees a slave, and deciding eternal damnation would be worth it.
As a sidenote, another Mark Twain book I was obsessed with as a kid was A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Exactly what it says on the tin, incredibly insane read.
If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin is a heartbreaking but powerful book and a look at the racism of the time while still centering the love the two black protagonists feel for each other. Giovanni's Room by the same author is one that focuses on a MLM man struggling with his sexuality, and it's really important to see from the perspective of a queer man living in the 50s– as well as Baldwin's autobiographical novel, Go Tell it on the Mountain.
Agatha Christie mysteries are all still absolutely iconic, but Murder on the Orient Express is such a good read whether or not you know the end twist.
Maybe-controversial-maybe-not take: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov is a good book if you have reading comprehension. No, you're not supposed to like the main character. He pretty much spells that out for you at the end ffs.
Animal Farm by George Orwell was another favorite of mine; it was written as an obvious metaphor for the rise of fascism in Russia at the time and boy does it hit even now.
And finally, please read Shakespeare plays. As soon as you get used to their way of talking, they're not as hard to understand as people will lead you to believe. My absolute favorite is Twelfth Night- crossdressing, bisexual love triangles, yellow stockings... it's all a joy.
and those are just the ones i thought of off the top of my head! What're your guys' favorite classic books? Let's make everyone a reading list!
