Russian classical works will never lose their relevance. Russian classics teaches the ability to think, understand human nature,his actions,opens his eyes and makes a different look at the usual things, changing your worldview . I advise you to read: Fyodor Dostoevsky - "Crime and punishment", "Idiot", Anton Chekhov - "Uncle Vanya", "Lady with a dog", "Kashtanka»; Alexander Pushkin - "Eugene Onegin»; Nikolai Gogol - "Dead souls»; Ivan Turgenev - "Fathers and children»; Mikhail Bulgakov - "the Fateful eggs", "the Master and Margarita»; Vladimir Nabokov - "Lolita»; Ivan Bunin "Sukhodol", "Village»; Alexander Griboyedov's "Woe from wit»; Mikhail Lermontov - "Hero of our time", "Demon»; Boris Pasternak - "Doctor Zhivago".
I read the count of Monte Cristo 2 years ago. I am currently 16. It was one of the best decisions I have done in my life so far. I think at my age most people are wasting most of their time. I do that myself, but I want to change, I want to be better. I just need someone to point me in the right direction.
My personal favourites: - Jane Eyre - Wuthering Heights - Animal Farm - Lord of the Flies - Dracula - The Colour Purple - The Kite Runner - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
I just finished jane eyre like two days ago , and I gotta say that it was amazingly in a way that's pure joy to read and the plot itself was incredible. salute you for recommending it

Thank goodness you noticed!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing - and we're supposed to think the silly female on this vid. knows what she's talking about?
Short Stories are great way to ease into the classics. I’m currently teaching 5th graders The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. With help, they understood and loved them all! Don’t dumb stuff down for kids. I was reading many of these books myself by age 10-11, no problem.They shape a person!
@Blue Moon New weird conspiracy theories should not invalidate the genius of the writing. It's like arguing that Shakespeare is shit because dicaprio starred in a lame Romeo and Juliette...
I'm currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I've read War and Peace, Pride and Prejudice and The Brothers Karamazov. I've ignored fiction books for years, focusing on business, science, philosophy but I was wrong.
Ayesha Mahmood because each one of those books teach you at least philosophical matters and gives insight to the author‘s minds. Adopt it or not. At least you will think critically, which is an integral trait of philosophy
Manaswita Rajguru I watch movie versions several times a year. Last year I discovered the BBC tv series starring Timothy Dalton, wow! I believe it is my favorite. Although, many movies are good and some are not so good, leaving out important pieces of the book. 🤓
@@oceanbrzzz Yes, I have watched the movies too, though not the BBC series. The 2011 movie is my favourite, and the 2006 one was good too. The movies do leave out or alter some scenes, particularly the ones with Rochester's first wife and her portrayal. Hannah's death was also shown a little differently in one of the movies, I can't remember which one.
@@oceanbrzzz (Habits, wisdom and mindset of highly successful people) this book is really revolutionary so different than others. Available on Kindle..
I am halfway through "The Brothers Karamazov" right now. It is already blowing my mind! If humanity were to choose candidates for the single greatest novel ever written, this would easily make the list.
My all time favorites:- 1) pride and prejudice 2) Jane Eyre 3) wuthering heights 4) Villette 5) the mayor of casterbridge 6) woman in white 7) Jude the obscure 8) David Copperfield 9) bleak house 10) Oliver twist 11) great expectations 12) Les miserables 13) of human bondage 14) Madame Bovary 15) middlemarch 16) heart of darkness 17) the scarlet letter 18) sons and lovers 19) a passage to India 20) War and peace 21) Anna Karenina 22) crime and punishment 23) the brother Karamazov 24) Dr. Zhivago 25) life and fate 26) master and margarita 27) Rebecca 28) gone with the wind 29) the great Gatsby 30) the grapes of wrath 31) 1984 32) to Kill a mockingbird 33) beloved 34) lord of flies 35) The awakening 36) 100 years of solitude
yeah, but take the quates with a grand of salt :/ the advice they give can be a bit out of date. ( No hate , but I saw too many people think that if it's the Bible it is alright and I don't want that to happend to new readers.)
@@Me-rd7po isn't the point not to judge? Or a least to put ourself in someone else's shoes? The bible is the most read book and purchase. On the contrary of being out of date, it has cut through my heart and change me for the better, and true I got a long way to go.
My review of the ones i have read... 1. Pride & Prejudice - Good book. Jane Austen will teach many men better English as well. 2. Dorian Gray - Brilliance. At times I call this the best book ever written. 3. To Kill A Mocking Bird - Average. This makes its way in many lists and I found it nothing special. 4. War & Peace - If you have a fear of reading or worse have a fear of reading big books, simply read this and you will never fear any book again. This book changed me in ways that if I mention in words would seem too simple. I have read 4-5 books that are of the same size since reading this book. Moral of the story - this is as good as classic literature gets. This is not Tolstoy's best however. 5.The Color Purple - Read it this year. Amazing book. Powerful. 6. Brothers Karamazov - This book is a drug. The writing will make you feel you are hypnotised. Fyodor Dostoevsky is even better than Tolstoy and the finest classic author in the world. 7. Flowers for Algernon - I shed tears. This is luminous brilliance. I will read three more of the remaining books you mention. Classic books are my favourite genre of books. It has not only enhanced my attention span but made me a better more rounded human devoid of paucity. PS I dont care which moron recommends Moby Dick. Don't ever read that garbage.
@El trovador Mudo you said it yourself: YOU love that type of literature. You don't represent every man on earth, neither does every woman like or enjoy Pride and Prejudice
In no particular order: -No One Here Gets Out Alive -1984 -The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn -Lone Survivor -The Bible -Dispatches from Pluto -Into the Heart of Darkness -Roots…not that TV horseshit -A Tale of Two Cities -The Little Engine that Could -To Kill a Mockingbird -War & Peace -The Diary of Anne Frank -The Millionaire Next Door -The Great Gatsby
@@johnpeterson2987 Yeah. I find bot-readers irritating and patronizing. One of my local radio stations plays weather updates from some computer-generated voice. Every time he says “This is Rafael,” I feel like I’m being lied to.
I have read them all. Some of them were hard to get through and left me exhausted. Others were delightful. Jane Auston is one one of my favorite authors. She was genius.
Gone With the Wind, Pilgrims Progress, Tragedy & Hope, The Good Earth, Brave New World, The Prince, A Christmas Carol, Little Women, The Book of Enoch, The Bible.
my classics list: 1) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 2) Les Miserables by Victor Hugo 3) The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot 4) Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte 5) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 6) Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray 7) All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque 8) Dracula by Bram Stoker 9) Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell 10) Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier 11) Dr Zhivago by Boris Pasternak 12) The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald
@@fasmin8904 he's referring to the political climate in the USA where radical leftists denounce any one who differs in their opinions and dub them as bigots. Much like in 1984, the very language is now being pushed to be regulated and free speech is becoming infringed upon. Leftists wish to control thought and 'vaporize' any one who should be so bold as to tell the truth of reality.
@@brazen6850 jee, their ideology sounds good. But I must admit I don't exactly understand this. First of all america is a democracy, you guys can just get on the streets and protest to get what you want. But this isn't from the ruling party ,is it? Secondly this sounds like a big deal, how come I've never come across it in newspapers? pls explain
Wow, I read Flowers for Algernon in 9th grade English class. Almost forgot about it. Dickens had a lot of good ones too: Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, and David Copperfield.
I am an English Major. I have read most of the books on your list. You have picked some treasured jewels in the finest of literature. I plan on reading Daniel Deronda and Bleak House, as well as rereading The Count of Monte Christo. My life is richer from having read War and Peace. I would like to see Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky on your list!
How is it possible that Sir Quixote of La Mancha and the Bible are not in this list? Two classics that, whatever your background is, should be read. They are so rich in lessons to be learned and are litterature master pieces by the way they were writen. It is not a coincidence that they are the top 2 books to be sold.
yes, i agree just posted about Don Quixote, Yes the Bible is the greatest book ever 1. it's the best book on human behavior ever written. reading it teaches you to be a human being and not a human animal.
No better companion than a good book. I have read quite a few from your list and likely to read as many more as the life permits. I am grateful for providing the list.
And 5 more .... - Emma, Jane Austen. - The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins - A Tale of two Cities, Charles Dickens - The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare - Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov.
BK was the longest I've devoted to a book, not because of it's page lenght but because of its thought provoking wisdom. The true genius to me was the inter woven relationship between the characters. And the grand inquisitor, just materfull work by a virtuoso.
Don't forget A hundred years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marques, a fantastic novel about the history of Macondo, a fictitious town and the Buendia family. Also Don Quixote of la Mancha, the most important novel of Cervantes and the universal values of pursuing impossible dreams and justice.
You lose a lot credibility when, talking about books, you say that Moby Dick was written by Charles Dickens. You lose the rest of your credibility when you don't fix it for over a year.
They don't recommend Tom Sawyer because it's "racist". Which is kinda insane but they insist that Tom is misstreating Joe the little black servant in his household. It's next to imposdibke to buy a copy of that book in Canada.
@@CelestialWoodway I know. One of my favourites :( robinson crusoe and the jungle book are also banned. I'm puzzled - because it's part of our history - is it possible to delete the whole entire history?
I have read Mob-Dick as a young teenager. Read War and peace once in my early 20s and second time in my late 20s. Read The picture of Dorian Gray only last week and loved it.
I have read Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Jane Eyre, To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I'm currently reading both War & Peace and The Count of Monte Cristo.

I tried reading Little Women, I thought it was truly boring. All I can remember about it now is something about hairnets and someone died. I have read a few of the others on this list and did enjoy them though. I have just acquired a copy of the Bros Karamazov to read. My first Russian novel that wasn't about a post appocalyptic world. 😅 I never see any Thomas Hardy mentioned. I really loved Far From the Madding Crowd, although it is tragic.
Anne frank - hmhnhn not really. If you are into this there is Zlata Filipovich - she was 12 and wrote her diary during the yugoslavian war in 1992. Its pretty gripping. Oliver Twist -totallly! I was in shock that in Canada people don't know this book! It's one if my favourites :)
Thanks for the recommendations. Pedantic points: the video is entitled '15 books' but the written description if you click on it below the title lists 16. The written list also says Moby Dick is by Charles Dickens, although the narrative correctly says Herman Melville. ('Well, I knew it was like some dead Nineteenth Century guy!) Pronunciation: I am British so our pronunciations are different. In some cases American pronunciation preserves the original sound better than modern British, so please takes these as differences, not that one is right or wrong ('you say tomado and I say tomahto, you say Gillian and I say Jillian, you say panties and I say knickers' etc.) In modern British 'Eyre' as in Jane Eyre is 'Air'. What the Brontēs would have said in Nineteenth Century Yorkshire I don't know but the spelling may reflect early pronunciation. Most English people pronounce 'Dumas' as in the author of The Count of Monte Christo & The Three Musketeers, more like modern French way 'Dumah', although the spelling probably reflects the French pronunciation of several centuries ago when they would have spoken the 's' on the end. Likewise Louis in modern French, followed in modern English pronunciation of French names is Lou-ee, American (and probably ancient French) is like Lewis.
I recall growing up in the 69s and 70s that guys l knew, who didn't particularly like to read for pleasure LOVED the Outsiders and other of Hinton works. All described the world we grew up in.
As a major in literatur I wonder why should someone read these books? Just because they are "good" does not mean they are of any importance in the world of literature. People confuse popularity with impact.
6Kubik They are excellent and include lessons for life. Also, I have noticed throughout my life there are references to great works of literature (like these) in daily life, business dealings, other pieces of literature.
My favorite book is Charlotte's Web. Maybe it's on the next list. I think it is a perfect story of friendship and I read it ever summer. Of the books mentioned, I have read Pride and Prejudice, Tom Sawyer, To Kill A Mockingbird, Jane Eyre, Little Women and I think Bleak House.
The Pickwick Papers. Tom Sawyer. The Great Gatsby. 1984. Animal Farm. Catcher In The Rye. Hamlet. Pride and Prejudice. At Swim Two Birds. The Lord Of The Rings. Right Ho, Jeeves. Kidnapped. Treasure Island. Rebecca. The Foundation series.
In Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, one of the characters, Quentin Compson, committed suicide after his Freshman year. Though it is never quite clear why, eleven of the books selected here were on his Sophomore reading assignment.
The last book "Flowers for Algernon" was made into a movie. I think it was called " Charlie" excellent movie. Two great books I think everyone should read are "Boss" the story of Richard J. Daley by Mike Royko and The autobiography of Malcolm X.
Some sterling additions to the list: 1) The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy 2) The Stranger by Albere Camus 3) Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee 4) Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka 5) Midnight Children by Salman Rushdie 6) Life of Pie by Yann Martel 7) Atonement by Ian McEwan 8) Mill on the Floss by George Eliot 9) Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy 10) Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James 11) Geisha 12) Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad 13) Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carol 14) The Monk who Sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma 15) Animal Farm
I've read Jane Eyre, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and To Kill A Mockingbird. I would like to suggest to you Night by Eli Wiesel even if it is not a fictional story, it is one of the best book ever written. Good reading y'all!
Society went wrong it put God of the picture, not to SAY you won't achieve your dreams which is a classic effort to succeed. But HELL will break lose in your home. WHAT'S YOUR SUCCESS NOW??? I'M NOT PROCRASTINATING. READ THE GREATEST BOOK. THE BIBLE.
Being made to read 1, 3, in US high school in the early 60's detracted from their greatness. I read Moby Dick on my own in 76 and Flowers for Algernon in the Navy in 69.
Beautiful video as always. I totally agree that there are books that every man should read. I am a lover of books and the knowledge I have acquired from reading books has contributed a lot to helping me live soundly. "The Richest Man in Babylon", John Ploughman's Talk", Life Triumphant": these are three of the books I will never forget and will always be glad I read. Some of the ideas I share with people in my videos are from these great books and several others. I have not read all the books listed here, but I definitely hope to check out those I have not read. Thanks, guys, for a great job.
Any tips for people who struggle reading consistently or finding enjoyment in it? I want the knowledge so I’m here tryna get brief synapses of the greatest novels of all time
1. 1984 2. Animal Farm 3. Fahrenheit 451 4. Heart of Darkness 5. The Great Gatsby 6. Invisible Man 7. The Grapes of Wrath 8. The Scarlet Letter 9. Crime and Punishment 10. Lord of the Flies 11. To Kill A Mockingbird 12. Brave New World 13. Great Expectations 14. Uncle Tom's Cabin 15. Native Son
I'd like to recommend any of the books by Prof. Chaim Potok, but especially "My Name is Asher Lev". Also, James Michener, a prolific writer. I loved his "Hawaii".
The Picture of Dorian Gray is fantastic. Someone wrote about "The Beautiful Boy as Destroyer" and that says a lot about this book. It is not a long book but it is worth reading.

All of them but the Picture of Dorian Gray. I have the novel, but never read it.
*Classics never disappoint*
- War and peace
- Books by Dostoyevsky
- 1984
Russian authors of literature were a tough, gritty, earthy crowd and it pours out in their writing - probably my favorite fiction to read, period.
brave new world is quite good as well
1984 is a brilliant work, but I really recommend '1985' by Anthony Burgess too.
How can someone make a list of books you should read and not know George Eliot was a woman? (And why she felt obliged to use a male name?)
Why do I find your comment in every other video I see lol.. I lost count
Always have a book with you; when you are alone, close the world and open the book.

This is incredibly quotable
How about this one, "open a book and open the world"

The Count of Monte Cristo is indeed an amazing book. You learn life lessons from each and every character. Such a classic!
Just finished my fifth reading of this magnificent lecture on revenge and redemption .
Russian classical works will never lose their relevance. Russian classics teaches the ability to think, understand human nature,his actions,opens his eyes and makes a different look at the usual things, changing your worldview . I advise you to read:
Fyodor Dostoevsky - "Crime and punishment", "Idiot",
Anton Chekhov - "Uncle Vanya", "Lady with a dog", "Kashtanka»;
Alexander Pushkin - "Eugene Onegin»;
Nikolai Gogol - "Dead souls»;
Ivan Turgenev - "Fathers and children»;
Mikhail Bulgakov - "the Fateful eggs", "the Master and Margarita»;
Vladimir Nabokov - "Lolita»;
Ivan Bunin "Sukhodol", "Village»;
Alexander Griboyedov's "Woe from wit»;
Mikhail Lermontov - "Hero of our time", "Demon»;
Boris Pasternak - "Doctor Zhivago".
You can say the same about the French too!
Anna karenina, crime and punishment, the idiot and dr zhivago are my favorites
Nothing by Tolstoy
The Brothers Karamazov as well
"Dead souls" is the most boring book I've ever read in my life. In any case, russian children shouldn't be forced to read this in schools.
It's quite shocking how few people know about the forbidden book called Empire of Earnings on Borlest
B O T
I read The Picture of Dorian Gray every year. It never gets old.
I see what you did there
Wow
I just finished it today. But why would you read it every year?
I understood that reference
Oh my, as a comedian I absolutely love this Joke
I read the count of Monte Cristo 2 years ago. I am currently 16. It was one of the best decisions I have done in my life so far. I think at my age most people are wasting most of their time. I do that myself, but I want to change, I want to be better. I just need someone to point me in the right direction.
borlest - empire of earnings (thank me later)
My personal favourites:
- Jane Eyre
- Wuthering Heights
- Animal Farm
- Lord of the Flies
- Dracula
- The Colour Purple
- The Kite Runner
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Wow sir good to see you like Dracula
Awesome books. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Wuthering Heights 👌🏻💖

@@cock_baitman6701 I love that Dracula is written in the form of diaries and it makes it more intimate and scarier.
I like to recommend three more
1. The good earth by Pearl S. Buck
2. Great expectations by Charles Dickens
3. Les miserable by Victor Hugo
Great Expectations is a MUST!
Music Fan Great Expectations my favorite Dickens book.
Yes!
I read all of Pearl S Buck's books as a teenager. I re-read them every decade.
I am about to read "the good earth" by Pearl S. Buck. Is it good? I've heard that it's quite boring and without a deeper meaning... Is that true?

Manaswita Rajguru I watch movie versions several times a year. Last year I discovered the BBC tv series starring Timothy Dalton, wow! I believe it is my favorite. Although, many movies are good and some are not so good, leaving out important pieces of the book. 🤓
@@oceanbrzzz Yes, I have watched the movies too, though not the BBC series. The 2011 movie is my favourite, and the 2006 one was good too. The movies do leave out or alter some scenes, particularly the ones with Rochester's first wife and her portrayal. Hannah's death was also shown a little differently in one of the movies, I can't remember which one.

Reading books gives a new perspective, choices, options, and literally godly wisdom
I am halfway through "The Brothers Karamazov" right now. It is already blowing my mind! If humanity were to choose candidates for the single greatest novel ever written, this would easily make the list.

“I’m reading Brothers now. With David mcDuff translation. This is 3rd time. With the Russians the translators are everything.
I thought Crime and Punishment was the greatest?

Woman in White is on my short list too. Not too many these days have heard of, let alone read it. A gem.
The bible! The most important and popular which has from poetry to history, and every thing in between. A story of God's love for us.
yeah, but take the quates with a grand of salt :/ the advice they give can be a bit out of date. ( No hate , but I saw too many people think that if it's the Bible it is alright and I don't want that to happend to new readers.)
@@Me-rd7po isn't the point not to judge? Or a least to put ourself in someone else's shoes? The bible is the most read book and purchase. On the contrary of being out of date, it has cut through my heart and change me for the better, and true I got a long way to go.
los miserables, crime and punishement and great expectactions. for me a clear must read
My review of the ones i have read...
1. Pride & Prejudice - Good book. Jane Austen will teach many men better English as well.
2. Dorian Gray - Brilliance. At times I call this the best book ever written.
3. To Kill A Mocking Bird - Average. This makes its way in many lists and I found it nothing special.
4. War & Peace - If you have a fear of reading or worse have a fear of reading big books, simply read this and you will never fear any book again. This book changed me in ways that if I mention in words would seem too simple. I have read 4-5 books that are of the same size since reading this book. Moral of the story - this is as good as classic literature gets. This is not Tolstoy's best however.
5.The Color Purple - Read it this year. Amazing book. Powerful.
6. Brothers Karamazov - This book is a drug. The writing will make you feel you are hypnotised. Fyodor Dostoevsky is even better than Tolstoy and the finest classic author in the world.
7. Flowers for Algernon - I shed tears. This is luminous brilliance.
I will read three more of the remaining books you mention. Classic books are my favourite genre of books. It has not only enhanced my attention span but made me a better more rounded human devoid of paucity.
PS I dont care which moron recommends Moby Dick. Don't ever read that garbage.
Kanwar Anand, I agree with you about Moby Dick. I tried reading it, listening to it; I just could not get into it.
Can't say I don't relate with moby dick
What’s wrong with Moby dick? That’s my whole book
I just love your comment.
I have read Pride and prejudice too. I really like Austen's simple yet classical way of story-telling.
Russian lit can be a slog, but once you figure out that each character has three names, it's easier. Always gems of truth to be found in them.
Pride and prejudice is incredibly amazing
I completely agree with you 💕
@El trovador Mudo Why do you think only women are capable of appreciating "Pride and Prejudice"?
Yeah read it
K by
@El trovador Mudo you said it yourself: YOU love that type of literature. You don't represent every man on earth, neither does every woman like or enjoy Pride and Prejudice

Today, there is only one book everyone needs to read, 1984.. that is where we are now
..no...
Why d'you say that? Because there's lockdown everywhere?
@@fasmin8904 he's referring to the political climate in the USA where radical leftists denounce any one who differs in their opinions and dub them as bigots.
Much like in 1984, the very language is now being pushed to be regulated and free speech is becoming infringed upon. Leftists wish to control thought and 'vaporize' any one who should be so bold as to tell the truth of reality.
@@brazen6850 jee, their ideology sounds good. But I must admit I don't exactly understand this. First of all america is a democracy, you guys can just get on the streets and protest to get what you want. But this isn't from the ruling party ,is it? Secondly this sounds like a big deal, how come I've never come across it in newspapers? pls explain

I've read The Picture of Dorian Gray, To Kill a Mockingbird, Little Women, and Jane Eyre. All great books.
Wow, I read Flowers for Algernon in 9th grade English class. Almost forgot about it. Dickens had a lot of good ones too: Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, and David Copperfield.
Don't forget about Pickwick papers and A tale of two Cities.

I am an English Major. I have read most of the books on your list. You have picked some treasured jewels in the finest of literature. I plan on reading Daniel Deronda and Bleak House, as well as rereading The Count of Monte Christo. My life is richer from having read War and Peace. I would like to see Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky on your list!
How is it possible that Sir Quixote of La Mancha and the Bible are not in this list? Two classics that, whatever your background is, should be read. They are so rich in lessons to be learned and are litterature master pieces by the way they were writen.
It is not a coincidence that they are the top 2 books to be sold.
So bible, is fiction... Correct
yes, i agree just posted about Don Quixote, Yes the Bible is the greatest book ever 1. it's the best book on human behavior ever written. reading it teaches you to be a human being and not a human animal.
@@babysisdolls333 no, it's an overrated trash heap.
@@aarnavchaturvedi2552 Fiction was not stated in the title, it's simply a classic whatever your opinion is about it.
No better companion than a good book. I have read quite a few from your list and likely to read as many more as the life permits. I am grateful for providing the list.
No body ever mentions Rebbeca anywhere ...but I think it is the best book ever written
I really liked this work. I advise you to read Jane Eyre
JUST ADD THE "PERFECT STROM"
THE DESCRIPTION OF DROWNING BLEW MY MIND

The brothers Karamazov is the best novel I've read in my life
I agree!
BK was the longest I've devoted to a book, not because of it's page lenght but because of its thought provoking wisdom. The true genius to me was the inter woven relationship between the characters. And the grand inquisitor, just materfull work by a virtuoso.
Lol, I guess it depends on whether you share Dostojewski's opinions.
Don't forget A hundred years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marques, a fantastic novel about the history of Macondo, a fictitious town and the Buendia family. Also Don Quixote of la Mancha, the most important novel of Cervantes and the universal values of pursuing impossible dreams and justice.
You lose a lot credibility when, talking about books, you say that Moby Dick was written by Charles Dickens. You lose the rest of your credibility when you don't fix it for over a year.

Huckleberry Finn!.....mmmh something is missing, oh now I remember Tom Sawyer...my personal great novels by Mark Twain.
Next time next time watch until the end. 🤫 surprise. 😉
They don't recommend Tom Sawyer because it's "racist". Which is kinda insane but they insist that Tom is misstreating Joe the little black servant in his household.
It's next to imposdibke to buy a copy of that book in Canada.
@@skojigoquist9288 Huckleberry Finn is also controversial and has been banned.
@@CelestialWoodway I know. One of my favourites :( robinson crusoe and the jungle book are also banned. I'm puzzled - because it's part of our history - is it possible to delete the whole entire history?
I have read Mob-Dick as a young teenager. Read War and peace once in my early 20s and second time in my late 20s. Read The picture of Dorian Gray only last week and loved it.
I have read Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Jane Eyre, To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I'm currently reading both War & Peace and The Count of Monte Cristo.
I can’t get over the pronunciation of Jane Eyre & Charlotte Bronte
A Streetcar named Desire by Tenesse Williams (Realism at it's best....Film stars Marlon Brando himself! It's a play so its a shorter read)

I tried reading Little Women, I thought it was truly boring. All I can remember about it now is something about hairnets and someone died. I have read a few of the others on this list and did enjoy them though. I have just acquired a copy of the Bros Karamazov to read. My first Russian novel that wasn't about a post appocalyptic world. 😅 I never see any Thomas Hardy mentioned. I really loved Far From the Madding Crowd, although it is tragic.

Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens
The Diary of Anne Frank (not fictional, but it's a very good book)
The Diary of Anne Frank *IS* fictional.
Anne frank - hmhnhn not really. If you are into this there is Zlata Filipovich - she was 12 and wrote her diary during the yugoslavian war in 1992. Its pretty gripping.

Nice.... Especially along with the rediculous comment you got!
Must be Steven Covey’s agent. Just sayin’.
Thanks for the recommendations. Pedantic points: the video is entitled '15 books' but the written description if you click on it below the title lists 16. The written list also says Moby Dick is by Charles Dickens, although the narrative correctly says Herman Melville. ('Well, I knew it was like some dead Nineteenth Century guy!)
Pronunciation: I am British so our pronunciations are different. In some cases American pronunciation preserves the original sound better than modern British, so please takes these as differences, not that one is right or wrong ('you say tomado and I say tomahto, you say Gillian and I say Jillian, you say panties and I say knickers' etc.)
In modern British 'Eyre' as in Jane Eyre is 'Air'. What the Brontēs would have said in Nineteenth Century Yorkshire I don't know but the spelling may reflect early pronunciation.
Most English people pronounce 'Dumas' as in the author of The Count of Monte Christo & The Three Musketeers, more like modern French way 'Dumah', although the spelling probably reflects the French pronunciation of several centuries ago when they would have spoken the 's' on the end. Likewise Louis in modern French, followed in modern English pronunciation of French names is Lou-ee, American (and probably ancient French) is like Lewis.

As a major in literatur I wonder why should someone read these books? Just because they are "good" does not mean they are of any importance in the world of literature. People confuse popularity with impact.
6Kubik They are excellent and include lessons for life. Also, I have noticed throughout my life there are references to great works of literature (like these) in daily life, business dealings, other pieces of literature.
My favorite book is Charlotte's Web. Maybe it's on the next list. I think it is a perfect story of friendship and I read it ever summer. Of the books mentioned, I have read Pride and Prejudice, Tom Sawyer, To Kill A Mockingbird, Jane Eyre, Little Women and I think Bleak House.
