On the subject of Jane Austen not commenting on the political situation of the day, Helena Kelly makes an interesting argument in her book 'Jane Austen, the Secret Radical' that it was a dangerous time to speak openly of politics and therefore Jane did it subversively.
I highly recommend the book. I couldn't read it fast enough, I found it so fascinating.
I literally just found that book at one of our Goodwill bookstores - can't wait to dive into it.
The secret garden is one of my favourite classics. I’m reading north and south soon 😊
The Waves is my favorite novel of all time, I'm so glad seeing it get some love on booktube! Similar to you, that book really required a reread for me: I didn't like it at first, and it felt like I was tasked with solving a 1000 piece puzzle but I wasn't given the picture it was gonna look like in the end. Then, after not being able to stop thinking about it for like 2 years, and knowing the basics of the plot, I was able to enjoy and adore it on the second read, allowing myself to get lost in Woolf's words. She's honestly just such a special writer, it's insane
North & South is one of my favorite classic (and Mr. Thornton
It makes me SO happy you include The Waves among this great group of books! 💜 Yes, it definitely requires time and concentration. And rereading is always so enriching.
I read Mary Barton for the first time a few months ago so I'm looking forward to reading North & South as well.
Thanks for this video.
Now, I haven't finished reading it yet, but Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky is SO good--I didn't expect to like it so much, but I'm taking a class about Dostoyevsky where we read his works and talk about the ideas in them and the historical context and it's all so fascinating!
I think everyone should read Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky in 2020 for sure.
@Digno ! I will! We're about to read Demons and then we're going to read The Brothers Karamazov.
Then I want to read The Idiot and his other works.
Dostoyevsky has become one of my new favorite authors.
As a writer myself, I'm learning so much about how to write just by looking at how his stories are written.
This is next in my TBR :)
Emilyn Wood i like book player by him
Not book related.....but OMG that lipstick!!!!! Can we know which lipstick is pleeeease🤗
North and South is one of my favourite classics. I saw the adaptation with Armitage and yes, that was the only reason I watched it and then I read the book, discovering the gem it is.
I’m currently reading north and south and it’s an incredibly touching and wonderfully written book. The age of innocence had also stayed with me since I read it over a year ago, mostly for the beautiful descriptions of high society and the little intricacies of their daily life
Thank you soo much for these classics recommendations. I'm so happy to have discovered your channel! ❤
North and South is on my TBR for this year, as is The Secret Garden. Loved Diary of a Nobody and The Age of Innocence.
I would recommend Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell, I read it this year and loved it a lot and might even read it again this year!
Happy to see you! 🙂
I have read and supremely enjoyed all the books you mentioned except the one by Tolstoy. Wharton and Gaskell are absolutely brilliant and pristine writers. I'd add Hardy, Trollope and du Maurier to the list as well as Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret. Oh, and Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray! So many wonderful Classics. I'm reading many again this year...more by Hardy, Dickens and Trollope and have added Henry James and Sheridan le Fanu.
The Secret Garden is my No.1 comfort read! :) Loved this, I'm so glad you uploaded a new video! Greetings from Germany!
I really like reading the classics. I'm definitely going to give North & South a try! It'll be fun to read it along with you all on the Goodreads community.
I am planning to read a lot of Woolf during March. Wildly, although I have read a lot of her nonfiction, I've never read any of her novels. Thanks for sharing your approach to reading her work.
You are an inspiration, thank you so much! I have seen so much of your videos that now when I read books in English ( I am Portuguese), I can hear your voice in my mind 😅
I needed this!
can’t wait to read north and south!! great list 💕💕
Awesome list of books, I definitely need to read some of these!
I just want to Thank You for creating the #classicscommunity2020 Reading Challenge. My favourite classic I have read so far was Anna Karenina. I have North and South and Age of Innocence on my classics TBR for the year but dunno when I will get to them as I have a TBR jar for my classics so it's a lucky dip.
I would love to see you recommending short classics (250 pages or less), because I am quite scared of reading really big classics, and it might be a good video for people who are new to reading classics :)
Ooooh I definitely need to pick these up! I watched the film adaptation of The Secret Garden a lot when I was a child and it holds a special place in my heart, so I don't know why I haven't read the book yet...🤦♀️
I adore the secret garden so much, as an adult and in 2020 I can see that it has problematic aspects but my childhood self will always love it
I love "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" It is so thought-provoking. I'm going to need to re-visit this one.
I've only read The Secret Garden! thank you for the recommendations
I have read the secret garden, it is excellent.
"North and South" is my favourite....first classic which raised the issue of working class. Its film adaptation is also wonderful. The heroine is so elegant.
I love Diary of a Nobody! I've read it many times. So funny!!
Haven't read North and South yet but I have watched the program you talked about. The comparison between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy was spot on.
North & South is one of my all time favorites... and I also love the adaptation with Richard Armitage as Thornton ❤... unfortunately I have other books I need to read before March 30th so can't join the group read, but I may rewatch the movie this weekend...
Great video.💗 You can add some Athony Trollope perhaps. I am reading Rachel Ray right now.💕
Then there's George Gissing. Try Thyrza or The Emancipated. 😁
2020 is going to be a GREAT reading year.🎉 Also, if anyone reading in Spanish, one classic is "El Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera" by Garbriel García Márquez.
El libro de Márquez es muy precioso!
I'm so curious. What do you do for a living? You are so articulate and passionate, making me want to read every book you recommend. I hope you're a teacher because you're an invaluable inspiration. Thank you for your videos.
She is a guard at a women's prison.
Diary of nobody is on my top 5 TBSR as #1. Because I need lots of laughter. Still reading P&P & looking forward to finish reading the Tenant of the wildfell hall. Thanks Lucy.
I started reading Edith Wharton last December with Ethan Frome and I immediately bought The Age of Innocence and read it in January. It seems I cannot put her down 😂 I am planning on reading The House of Mirth next. What other books by her have you read?
North and South is so fantastic!! I always recommend The Monk by Matthew Lewis and Evelina by Fanny Burney. The Monk is just wild, and Evelina is hilarious. I want to reread both soon, but I also have such a stack of unread classics to get to. The eternal struggle.
Hi, I really enjoy your channel. I notice you have a huge library full of books. I am curious what you think about audiobooks. Have you tried them, and if so, do you find them as interesting as a book you can hold in your hand? What would be the advantages and disadvantages of a "real" book versus a recorded version? Anyone know? Thanks.
Hi Lucy! I’m new at you channel but I’m loving it! And when I saw this video about classics I wondered if you had read any Brazilian book. If you haven’t, why don’t you read The Alienist, by Machado de Assis? I’m Brazilian and it’s one my favourite books ever! Congratulations for your work!
I'm reading The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas at the moment!
I absolutely loved The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
have you read little women? would love your thoughts!
I really like Tolstoy but I've never read that one, I will search for it, for sure.. I've read Anna Karénina and it is one the books of my life. I started to talk a bit about it in my first video (I am new BookTuber) and I will talk about it on my next one. Have you read any portuguese books? I could advise you our major literature. :)
I will subscribe your channel. :)
She is just awesome
North & S has an adaptation which is 1 of your favs among TV renditions. It stars a young Richard (Thorin in The Hobbit films) Armitage. Is it 1 of your favs 'cause it stars R. Armitage and u could watch HIM for hours & hours on end? Do you crush on this actor? C'mon Lucy, the truth now.
Re How Much Land.../Tolstoy. In the 21stC, it's too bad that Leo isn't around to write, How Many Billions Do Billionaires Need?, and How Many Tax Cuts and Corporate Welfare Bailouts Do Billionaires Need? Or how about Should Senators Be Able to Lie Whilst Taking An Oath in a Trial?
I think everybody should read LotR/JRRT, and Politics and the English Language/Orwell in '20.
I saw the movie adaptation of The Age of Innocence but didn't read the book. Is the ending the same in the novel?
Really want to read something by tolstoi and woolf this year, it would be my first with both... where do you recommend to start with woolf? soinds like waves is kind of a hard entry point with her
liquidpebbles I would recommend Mrs. Dalloway! Out of all her books, I think this one is a good “ beginner” book
@@nicolecooper749 thx for the rec! Yeah I've heard that too, it's probably what I'm gonna end up reading, the whole genre experimentation thorough the book sounds super interesting
The Tolstoy one is a short story and so I would suggest starting with that one. It's really intriguing.
I really loved Mrs. Dalloway!
Hello Lucy. Hope you are doing well. My name is priya and I am an undergrad eng. Literature student. From this Semester onwards I am supposed to read classics , almost around 8 . But Somehow I am not able to develop interest in classics. Though I am an avid reader, but its getting difficut here for me. I don't find it boring at all, its just kind of slow. So, There's a small request. Would you please give me some tips to read classics more efficiently and not leave it in between. I really want to read them! Kindly help.
Love from India.
I felt a little guilty when she was talking about "always wanting more." That's how I am with books ;)
So beautiful 😍😍
Hey, what is anyones opinion of listening to classic books through audiobooks?
Last few months I've wanted to get back into classics and I've been listening to audiobooks?
Am i cheating and just kidding myself? Is it the same as reading. Can it pass?
Stop or soldier on?
Just finished Fahrenheit 451. Very enjoyable. Onto lord of the flies at the moment. Getting a few shorter novels completed before tackling the count of monte cristo.
I listened and read Little women. I think audiobook encourages you to enjoy classics as some are heavy with vocabulary. If I feel bored in a chapter, i would audiobook it to feel engaged again. 🙂
North and South - ick. I found the romance unbelievable and forced. I much preferred Wives and Daughters.
I don't want to dislike it, but I gave up on a couple of these. Disliked a couple more. Feel a bit odd about the one I actually liked. And have mixed feelings about the remaining authors. What do I do...?
Which books did you unable to finish?
@@ryanolson7 It's been a full day so I only remember that North And South was on the list. I just found it to be super boring and it looked like it would have a romance as the plot.
