In no particular order,
Crime and Punishment
Notes from Underground
The Grapes of Wrath
East of Eden
Heart of Darkness
A Christmas Carol
Dracula
Dubliners
anne of green gables really does change the way you view the world and it's so so beautiful i am very grateful for it

Great list! My faves are
5) the bell jar
4) Jane eyre
3) les miserables
2) to kill a mockingbird
1) the great gatsby
I adore les miserables! Nice list
Les Miserablés! Wonderful
I'm wondering what did you like so much about Jane Eyre
I had to read great gatsby for school, didn’t read it all I just went on spark notes. I’m gonna give it another go ☺️
Great list!
5) The Tennet of Wildfell Hall...Anne Bronte
4) Wuthering Heights...Emily Bronte
3) Pride and Prejudice...Jane Austin
2) North and South...Elizabeth Gaskell
1) A Tale of Two Cities...Charles Dickens
I’m reading Tennant of Wildfell Hall today for the first time. I’m hooked!
Such a good list! My favourites are:
3. Frankenstein
2. Les Misérables
1. The Count of Monte Cristo
You ma’am are a women of culture !!
1. The Divine Comedy - Dante (I must have read this more than a dozen times over the years, as well as several books of commentary on it.)
2. Four Quartets - T.S. Eliot (Infinitely deep and endlessly thought provoking. There is no way one can exhaust this poem.)
3. The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoevsky (Quite possibly the greatest novel ever written. Certainly the most interesting characters.)
4. Kim - Kipling (So much local color and adventure, and a heartwarming friendship story across generations and cultures.)
5. Beowulf - the Seamus Heaney translation (Sometimes it's worthwhile to immerse ourselves in a totally alien culture.)
6. The Arthurian Poetry of Charles Williams (Extraordinarily difficult, yet more than worth the effort.)
7. Moby Dick - Melville (I've read this one 3 times so far, and I'm certain I have at least one more reading in me before I die.)
8. The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame (My favorite children's classic, except perhaps The Hobbit.)
9. A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth (Is this one a "classic"? It's not even 30 years old yet. Oh, well. It will someday definitely be one. For now, an instant classic.)
10. Canterbury Tales - Chaucer (Whatever you do, don't settle for a Modern English translation. Far, far better to read it in the original Middle English. Pure magic!)
I now feel like I really need to read all of these
Do you read dante in the original? If not, what translation do you recommend?
@@vincentandrew4544 For the notes and commentary, nothing beats the Dorothy Sayers translation. For the text itself, I recommend Mark Musa - really captures the STORY!
@@robertprokop1649 thank you very much
@@vincentandrew4544 Let us know what you think of it when you finish!
Here's my top five favorite classic novels:
1) A Tale of Two Cities
2) Melmoth the Wanderer
3) The Portrait of Dorian Gray
4) Howard's End
5) Great Expectations
Great list! Northanger Abbey deserves more love! It's one of my favourite Austen novels too.
Northanger Abbey doesn't get the love it deserves. It's probably my favourite Jane Austen book along with Persuasion, which is also underappreciated.
@@rosi3883 omg these two are my favourites as well!! Persuasion a bit more than Northanger Abbey I would say... I just feel like they are a bit more fast-paced than the other books of Jane austen. Always recommend them to everyone ❤️😊
Yes!! I've seen so many people ranking northanger abbey and persuasion as their least favourites (NA more so) but they're clearly the best ones 😂😂😍
Mansfield Park needs to get more love. I encourage anyone who's read it and isn't too sure to read it again. Both the book and it's heroine Fanny are much deeper and more interesting than many people think. Forget about the adaptations - they never get Franny right.
My favorites:
1. The Scarlet Letter
I'm watching this so late - I adored the video and your favorites are so valid. Your passion for the books is inspiring. Here's my list;
1. The Iliad
2. Picture of Dorian Gray
3. Wuthering Heights
4. Hamlet (if that counts)
5. The Ebb-Tide
6. Pride and Prejudice
7. To Kill a Mockingbird
8. Agnes Grey/Jane Eyre
9. Lord of the Flies
10. The Outsiders
It tells a lot about youtube and about people in general that this video didn't get a lot of views.
That people dont like classics?
@@theliopleurodon more like reading in general. I don't really hate any classics except catcher in the rye. Fuck that shit. I like Washington Irving and H.P Lovecraft's stuff. Occasionally I read Thomas Paine's writings too.
@@eldritchpumpkinghost2968 I love classics, but sometimes I need to take a break from them. Booktube is just a very small corner of youtube, I think. Some of the Classics I read and had to study in high school I did not appreciate or like. As I am a Canadian, we didn't get into as much analysis as our British counterparts do, but one of the classics that I had to read was Wuthering Heights and I hated that shit. Especially after the Twilight craze. Bella Swan has forever ruined Wuthering Heights for me.
You're right. I didn't view it.
Please tell us what you think this video’s low view-count “tells us” about TH-cam and “people in general”?
Thank you
1. In search of the Lost Time.
2. Wurthering Heights.
3. The Alexandria quartet.
4. The Idiot and Karamazov brothers.
5. Mrs Dalloway.
6. Portrait of a Lady.
7. August light.
8. Emma.
9. Middlemarch.
10. Anna Karenine.
The first “classic” I ever read was The Count of Monte Cristo. Still my favorite book.
Omg that’s such a long book for a classic! You didn’t even dip your toes in the water you just got right in lol.
So far, it is my favorite too. Second place goes to Gone with the Wind. Wuthering Heights third and The Hunch Back of Notre Dame fourth.
My favourites are:
-Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens.
-les miserables by Victor Hugo.
-Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy.
-Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
-Persuasion by Jane Austen.
I read that the character of Shirley was heavily inspired by Emily Bronte. That it was a kind of homage to her sister
1)Gone with the Wind
2)Pride and Prejudice
3)Wuthering Heights
4)Sense and sensibility
5)Great Gatsby
6)Great Expectations
My favorites:
Wuthering Heights
Anne Of Green Gables

Hard Times

Frankenstein
A Little Princess
And To Kill a Mockingbird!
I’m thinking about reading hard times how is it
I looove little women, the little Princess and withering heights. The rest are on my reading list
I really hated Wuthering heights, I couldn't understand what the hype was all about!
i just finished hard times! Gradgrind is one of the most transformative characters! so ironic how he thinks so factually and discourages the heart but really accepts his fallen system. and later depending on the circus for the sake of his child and more! Its a new favorite classic of mine!
That stack of your own book in the background!!! 😍🥰

- The good Person of Sczechwan
- Evelina by Fanny Burney

The Swiss Family Robinson by Daniel Defoe?
@@staffanlindstrom576 lol, i thought it was
First time I'm watching one of your videos and I'm literally holding a copy of Far From the Madding Crowd!!! When I mention this book to somebody, every time they tell me they've never heard of it. I am so glad and surprised to know you've read it and it's on your top 3! I 100% agree with you and I'm also so happy to know that there is someone who loves classics and all they want to talk about is classics just like me. Subscribed for life 👍
1. Wuthering Heights
2. The Woodlanders
3. North and South
4. Agnes Grey
5. Far From the Madding Crowd
YEEEES!!! I love the 1995 version and it annoys me so much how people always just talk about the movie with Keira Knightley! 😂
It was truly terrible. It was only about Elizabeth's faults and should have just been called Prejudice.
Awesome video! I have recently begun reading classics but my current favorites are...
1) Anne of the Island (and all of the Anne of Green Gables books!) - LM Montgomery
2) Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen
3) Little Women - Louisa May Alcott
4) Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
5) A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
I have so many more to read and I'm so excited about it! Up next is Great Expectations, Persuasion, Jane Eyre and The Great Gatsby to name a few:)
Charlotte Bronte is my favorite of the three sisters. I've only read two of her books. Now I need to add this one.
Thomas Hardy...Jude the Obscure. A great tragic novel.
- 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.
5: The Sun also Rises
4: The Great Gatsby
3: Jane Eyre/Pride and Prejudice
2: Tender is the Night
1: Anna Karenina
I love Austen's and bronte sisters' books than any others!!! I don't know how to choose between these!!! Currently I'm reading villlette and the next would be Shirley!
1. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
2. The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
3. East of Eden by John Steinbeck
4. Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky
5. Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
I love Northanger Abby! Austen's set up of creating a novel about novels and parodying novels is fantastic. I also include "The Bronte Sisters" as one of my favorite authors, Jane Eyre is my all time favorite book, they're writing is just so beautiful. I've been meaning to read Agnes Grey for a while, I really should, I know the Bronte's won't disappoint me.
Another favorite of mine is Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess is just a cutest simple story I adore.
I’m so happy you like LM Montgomery! She is from my corner of the world (Im from Halifax, where Anne Shirley was born☺️)and it is so nice to see people from around here recognized, because it doesn’t happen very often! I would recommend The Story Girl by LM Montgomery. It was a book that meant so much to me as a child, and is just a really beautiful and underrated work. Good luck with your book!!
Thank you for introducing me to Shirley! I loved it! Northanger Abbey surprised me a lot, like you said it's not an obvious choice. I love your enthusiasm!
Smashing plot twist with Agnes Grey. The unheralded Brontë has her day!
I have read Tenent, but have yet to read Agnes Grey. I really to want to read this one now!
I like:
Catcher in the Rye
Wuthering Heights
To kill a Mockingbird
Lord of the flies
The invisible Man
Picture of Dorian Grey and The importance of Being Earnest (play)
All my sons (play)
And currently reading Pride and prejudice which so far it's real good.
Great video and recommendations btw!
This reminds me that I need to read Shirley.
Some of my favorites:
Rebecca
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
New Grub Street
Great Expectations
McTeague
1984
Jane Eyre
1984 yes!
Rebecca 😍😍 people don't talk about it enough! I'm reading it yet again right now and I'm completely absorbed by it every time!
YES, Rebecca! 🙌💕❤️
I could seriously listen to you for hours. Thank you so much for sharing :)
I'm really glad to have found your channel, and it's a pleasure that you adore classics!
The enthusiasm you have for your favourites is invigorating and makes me want to what you read.
What a lovely video. I always love when you talk about classics. Some of my favorites are East of Eden, the catcher in the rye, Giovanni’s room, and A street car named Desire
Anne of green gables! Favourite book of all time!
I love all your classics videos, your passion is infectious. Many of my favourites are on your list but I'm yet to read Shirley, hoping to get to it sometime this year.
I still have lots classics on my TBR, but so far these are the ones that stood out for me:
Little Women - L. M. Alcoot
Sense and sensibility
Pride and prejudice - J. Austen
And more like a modern classic: To kill a Mockingbird - H. Lee
❤️❤️❤️
I have that edition of wurhuring heights. Don't judge a book but the cover is beautiful and captures the book so well.
A very underrated classic novel but an insanely popular musical I really love is The Phantom of the Opera. Christine's character can be easily seen as ditsy or dumb at first glance (especially with the show, also depending on which actress) but when you read the book you learn much more about her background and its less of the Phantom's story and rather her own story.
I'm glad you included the 2 modern classics, The Catcher in the Rye and the Bell Jar. I don't see a Dickens book in anyone's list! I will have to give this question some serious thought before I can say what my all time fave classics are, but just in this moment I would choose Wuthering Heights, Dracula, and Frankenstein. Picture of Dorian Gray was pretty amazing, too.
Romola, Man Without Qualities, Daniel Deronda, Against The Day, Brothers K, Middlemarch, War and Peace, Canterbury Tales, Bleeding Edge, Baudelino.
These are all some of my favorite classics as well! (with the exception of The Woodlanders, which I still haven't read). Catherine Moreland is one of the most underrated Austen protagonists! This was a pleasure to watch as your passion for these classic gems shines so strongly. :)
Anne of green gables is easily my favourite Classic followed by to kill a mockingbird and the secret garden
I’m very late to this video but have really enjoyed seeing the classics you enjoy the most. Definitely excited to get to the ones I haven’t read.
I’m a sucker for modern classics in all honesty.
1)East of Eden
2)Slaughter house 5
3)So long, see you tomorrow
4)Lolita
5)We have always lived in the castle
I'm so glad you have a great video on classics! I love classics and I wish other booktubers talked about them more!
Some of my favorite classics are:
-Persuasion
-Pride and Prejudice
-The Catcher in the Rye
-Howard's End
-I Capture the Castle
-Gilead
-The Bell Jar
-Bleak House
-Rebecca
and my favorite book of all time, "Till We Have Faces" by C.S. Lewis.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
I've only started reading classics in 2018, but my favorite so far is Jane Eyre :)
Regarding the Brontes: I loved Jane Eyre, Villette, and the Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Yet I was underwhelmed by Agnes Gray, Wuthering Heights, and Shirley. Perhaps I need to give them a second read.
My exact reaction to these six Brontë novels. Loved, loved Jane Eyre, Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Villette. Wuthering Heights was so dark and full of cruelty. It truly surprises me that do many people love it so. Agnes Gray was okay, but unremarkable. I struggled with Shirley and never finished it. I guess I should give it a second try based on this video.
such a good video!
my faves are:
5) Little Women
4) Wuthering Heights
3) Sense and Sensibility
2) The Catcher in the Rye
1) Ariel
What a wonderful list of books!!
I love hearing you talk about the stories you love, and most importantly what they mean to you.
I have been watching your videos for years, and you are a huge reason of why I started reading more classic literature. I was always intimidated by the language and writing style, but now classics are one of my favorite genres to read.
I'm currently reading Jane Eyre (my first EVER Bronte book) and I'm in love with the story and Charlotte's writing. I can't wait to keep reading the rest of the Bronte books.
I want to thank you for motivating me, and I'm sure many others, to give the scary classics a try! They now feel like old friends!!
Some of my favorite classics are:
- The Anne of Green Gables series!
- Little Women!
- Pride and Prejudice!
- Rebecca!
- The Secret Garden!
- To Kill A Mockingbird!
-The Little Prince!
-A Farewell to Arms
-Jane Eyre (even though I haven't finished it yet!)
...and many more but I would be here for hours!! :)
Happy Reading Lucy!!
Nice
I was shocked with withering heights. I loved it. Couldn't get on with the paperback the first time, put it off until I needed it for my college work. Ended up getting the audio book and loving it. Lol.
I've only just started watching your channel as I've fallen in love with the Brontes, I'm only on my fourth book, but I'm just so in awe of them and moved by their writing. I was expecting Jane Eyre to be your no 1 though! 😃 I haven't read Shirley yet but it's next on my list, and now I've heard you talk about it, I'm really looking forward to it now. Thank you for your recommendations, I have added them to my list. 😊
North and South by Emily Gaskell, hands down
I love how passionate you are about classics. The way you talk about your favorite books makes me want to pick up more classics myself :) I also completely agree with you - the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice is the best of all the adaptations :)
Missy May's Reading Nook Colin Firth is a great actor but he was not fit for the role of Mr. Darcy. Jane Austen’s character is perfectly portrayed by Matthew Macfadyen. He has the exact qualities/defects/manners that Austen envisioned in Darcy. I saw both versions and only this one gave me the thrill and emotions of the story.
@@at136 I'm glad that you have a version that fits the emotions that you experienced going through the story. For me, I get those same emotions watching the BBC version. To each her own :)
My Final 10 (in no particular order):
1. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
3. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
4. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
5. Far From The Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
6. Little Women/Little Men/Jo's Boys by Louisa May Alcott
7. Persuasion by Jane Austen
8. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee & The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
9. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
10. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I love the Bell Jar and totally agree with the feeling of understanding it provides, I will definitely have a go of the Catcher in the Rye too!
You're the one who convinced and compelled me to read the Brontës Lucy! Agnes Grey was my first and I loved it! I loved Wuthering Heights too🙂. I'm yet to read your fav book Shirley though💜
I'm a new subscriber and I just love your videos and Northanger Abbey it's one of my favourites too
How wonderful to see a new video from you!
I'm really looking forward to reading the bell jar and Jane Eyre, they've been on my TBR for ages.
I haven't read as many classics as I would have liked to, most of mine have been children's classics, but I'm really excited to read more in the future.

Anne of Green Gables
Little woman
Heidi
Emily of New Moon
Pride and Prejudice
I capture the castle

1) Agnes Grey - Anne Brontë
I didn’t like Wuthering Heights the first time I read it but ultimately fell in love after reading it for two different classes. My standards are East of Eden, Frankenstein, To Kill a Mockingbird, To the Lighthouse 💖💖💖, Dubliners, The Great Gatsby, Far From the Madding Crowd, and all Austen (but especially Northanger Abbey and Persuasion).
Love this video. Have half of these books & read them.💕 Look forward to reading the other ones too.
I love classics and your videos!!
YES I missed your videos so much!
LOVE Pride & Prejudice and Wuthering Heights (need to reread it though!), and I'm currently reading Northanger Abbey!
so many of the others are on my tbr 💗
I'm on reading ann of green gables at the moment. I loved it. Its so charming and funny. I love Matthew and Anns relationship and the funny things Ann says throughout. I'm upto the chapter when Matthew goes to the store to buy Ann a dress for Christmas it's so funny it really made me chuckle. It's a great book. Mrs Dalloway is also amazing.
I think I've got the best lists of books to read now... Thanks for sharing ans amazing video with amazing classic bundles...
I appreciate the recommendations as I'd like to read more classics so far I've only read Dracula
Loved this video! Do you think you will be filming the rest of your bookshelf tours? I think everyone is slightly jealous of your beautiful collection! :) x

Nice
My Favorites are:
-Jane Eyre
-1984
-Brave New World
-Macbeth
-Frankenstein
-The Great Gatsby
Have "Shirley" sitting in German translation since years on my window sill unread. Bought it at a library sale for less than a Euro. Always wanted to read it, never did. Guess what I probably should be doing now.
a lot of people, funnily enough, do not like "Northanger Abbey". As for me, I had finished reading the book just a few days ago, and it is the first Jane Austen book that I have ever read. Honestly, it truly captured my heart; and, I want to keep reading all the works of Jane! I'm currently reading through "Love and Friendship". Also great!
The Europeans; Silas Marner; Wuthering Heights; Little Dorrit; Therese Raquin; A Life (by Guy de Maupassant); Dawn Wind; The Wind in the Willows; The Vicar of Wakefield
Nobody talk about Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad?
That is the worst book I’ve ever read. It was so confusing and I had no clue what was going on
@@ashley.the.swiftie well, me too actually
Very pleased to see The Woodlanders and Shirley on your list.
I associate the mental health issues of Mrs Dalloway and The Bell Jar; how Woolf was describing PTSD at a time when psychology seemed to be practised by quacks. Reading Plath was unnerving because her prose was so grounded and matter of fact.
Favourites of mine;
Crime and Punishment
Madame Bovary
Jane Eyre
Jude the Obscure
My love of classics has been diminished by groups on goodreads; saying you like or don’t a classic seems to miss what a classic tells you about yourself. Like or dislike seem irrelevant and miss the point. This is my first time watching a video of yours so I look forward to catching up.
My top 5 classics are definitely Sense and Sensibility, Anne of Green Gables, Testament of Youth by Vera Britten (probably a modern classic, but everyone should definitely read it!), Jane Eyre and Far From the Madding Crowd
Love your videos. Very encouraged. 🙂
I have read classics here & there but I really want to challenge myself to read more & more consistantly because I really love reading especially Victorian literature. Love the Brontës, Jane Austen & George Elliot.
I think that the fact Northanger Abbey is getting so much love in the comments suprising to me. I read it for my literature classes, and while I loved analyzing it, I didn't find the actual read too enjoyable compared to other novels by Austen.
I will read shirley soon, because of this, thank you!
Have you ever read Dracula, For Whom the Bell Tolls, 1984 or Fahrenheit 451?
My favs are: Les Miserables, The phantom of the opera, Gone with the wind, Tess, Great expectations, Wuthering heights, Frankenstein, The sound and the fury, 1984, The picture of Dorian Gray and Doctor Zhivago
Love your channel!! Greetings from México 😊
Nice ,so beautiful
