"Peter and Wendy" is lovely, but IMO "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens", which preceded it, is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful things ever written.
The Maltese Falcon is so good, you truly feel like you are in San Francisco with how descriptive Hammett is. I also love that they have streets named after the book/author and a plaque where an important event in the book happened
A few books you might enjoy: 1920's: Cather - Death Comes for the Archbishop - about place - New Mexico 1930's: Steinbeck -Grapes of Wrath - wonderful 2012: Rifka - Tell the Wolves I'm Home - poignant yet heart-warming Books I've read many times from late teens to my early 40's - Rand: The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged - but I read them more as a study in individualism and humanity (if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything) rather than a primer on how to be a jerk politician and/or businessman and/or human. Enjoyed the video! Thank you! 🙏🏼✨🤓
I read The Good Earth when I was a pre-teen, just plucked it off the shelf, and let me tell ya… what a novel to read as a kid. Have read it again as an adult and I still love it, but appreciate its pros more. Worth reading for sure
I agree with all the books from the 50's, but I would personally want to add "Lord of the Flies" to this list. I know that this is supposed to be books of the "American spirit", more or less, but I feel "Flies" transcends just being British or American and is a statement of mankind in general. It's also way up there among my all time favorites.
Great video, including the accents 😉. Agatha Christie has some more famous novels. "And Then There Were None" is assigned at most high schools. Its original title was "Ten Little Indians" but was changed for obvious reasons. "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" is famous because it's a book you can only *"experience"* once but re-read to appreciate its originality at the time (i.e.: Christie did it first). I just recently read a book that is hot in social media only to discover that the author imitated Ms. Christie. - "The Good Earth" is an incredible book. It's an easy, fast read with only a few characters yet it touches on deep issues we as humans relate to. Highly recommended. - "Roots" is an extraordinary masterpiece. I remember reading this in college and getting to this one sentence (which I still remember) that got me choked up. - "The Shining" is slightly different from the movie adaptation. I read the book after seeing the movie and prefer the book more. - "The Bonfire of the Vanities" is **THE** quintessential New York City book of the 1980s. It captures all the people, scenes and craziness that gives NYC its attitude and heartbeat and is so unforgettable. Skip the horrible movie adaptation.
Actually the original title of And Then There Were None was something else before it was changed to Indians . . . I won't even hint at it here other than to say, put it this way, it's the worst word you know.
If you're serious about getting into westerns, I can't recommend Lonesome Dove strongly enough. Don't be intimidated by the length - it's a fast-paced read!
Even if you’re not a fan of war memoirs, read The Things They Carried. It’s incredibly well written, and it’s devastatingly good. It’s so good. It’s even so weird and surreal in parts. It’s so heart wrenchingly beautiful written. It is amazing. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. Don’t be turned off by the war themes, gurl. It’s amazing.
I'm a lurker but I'm not lurking today. You must read Pearl S Buck, Lonesome Dove, House on Mango Street and if you want to get into science fiction - Octavia E Butler is the way to go. I highly recommend starting with Kindred then picking up the Lilith's Brood trilogy - Dawn is the first book. So. Freaking, Good. Love your channel. xo
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is one of my favorite novels! People who report back to me about it tend to say it's the saddest book they've ever read, haha. And I do agree. It's totally worth it. Member of the Wedding is also fantastic.
Can you do a most-hated or critically panned books of every decade too? I wouldn't be surprised if half of them ended up becoming cult classics or just didn't find their audience until decades later.
The Shining book is so much different from the movie. In the movie Jack seem crazy from the beginning, but the book gives so much background and depth to him. I highly recommend reading it since it's totally different from the movie. I like both, but I can see why King dislike the movie.
Saint-Exupery wrote about his experiences piloting a small plane delivering mail during WWII in his other books, they really capture what is must have been like to be alone up there. Unfortunately it was the cause of his death in 1944, the wreckage wasn’t discovered in The Mediterranean Sea until fairly recently.
Interesting about the Jane Addams book! Her work and Hull House are a huge piece of history regarding social work and social welfare. Us modern social workers who practice from a mutual aid model role our eyes at her and the social welfare theory of those times but it is history we can’t ignore! Still pondering how it made this list…. You gotta read all Willa Cather! O Pioneers is a masterpiece. She was mentored by Sarah Orne Jewett who happens to be from my neck of the woods! Seacoast NH/ME. Lots of amazing women who need to be read more! Great video idea!
Surprised Gone with the Wind wasn’t included in the 1930’s selection, have my grandmothers contemporary copy of the time and its an 18th edition and three years after publication was the highest grossing film of 1939 along with The Wizard of Oz and Gunga Din also based on popular books. Heinlein wrote the book Stormship Troopers, also made into a movie.
I feel like you're misrepresenting the article? It wasn't the most popular books of the decade, it was what the writer thinks defined that decade. The notion that 'people are only reading popular books these days which are easy' were true for every single one of these periods, like penny dreadfuls and pulp fiction. The people of the past weren't all reading Faulkner and Joyce.
I appreciate you not editing out that giggly segment ! You are fantastic! I totaled 23 of those books, but so many more were started and never finished!! Grrr
I find it so interesting there's novels by female authors on the 'most popular' lists from the early 20th century.......yet very few of those became declared 'classics'. Hmmm, perhaps letting male critics define for all of us what's 'good' or not is absurd
Just because self-appointed authorities esteem "Ulysses" is not proof that others have to read "Ulysses" to be "devoted to reading." One would have hoped that was obvious. Honestly.
I’ve read the first five or so pages of Ulysses about ten time. Each time I just cannot form an image in my head of what the heck is going on and I bail in disgust. Like “Infinite Jest,” it’s just not worth it.
8:23 Re: the question you asked about popular books from 100 years ago being difficult to read - remember that the literacy rate in the US was lower back then, and generally fewer people received a solid education. So, to oversimplify, the overall number of American adults reading popular books was lower, meaning that readers with the privilege of being highly educated and well-read (often rich, white, male, etc.) were driving popular book sales way more than they are today. Not to mention that the publishing industry and academia were dominated by men!
guys this is my first time on this channel and i am ENTERTAINED but what is the lore behind that pile of books that is lowkey stressing me out😭 i love it so much
I also prefer Grapes of Wrath to East of Eden - personal choice I supposed based on how much the themes resonated with me and the rhythm of the scenes throughout the stories but both are wonderful
Are these all books or just adult books? I'm surprised that the wizard of Oz or any of L Frank Baulm's books was not there. The first one was written in 1900 but it was a series. I'm sure there must have been people eagerly awaiting the next book, like The Prisoner of Azkaban.
You might want to lower your expectations as it pertains to people reading popular titles from the early twentieth century. Most younger readers today aren't that deep. University professors are complaining students can't read entire books!
If young people weren’t reading, there would not be the enormous supply of young people fiction on the shelves that currently exists. Young people have NEVER been “that deep” and those “university professors” sound like Boomers 🙄
Yeah, don't bother with White Noise. It used to be that every review of a DeLillo book said he was "our leading novelist of ideas," and every time I read that, I said, "If that's true, we need better ideas."
Book trivia: “The Magnificent Ambersons”earned Booth Tarkington his first Pulitzer. “The Dead” is the “party story” (and best) in the Joyce’s Dubliners collection. 1920’s / they left out “The Age of Innocence” by Edith Wharton and “Main Street” by Sinclair Lewis. I really liked “The Good Earth” by Pearl Buck when I read as a teenager. The author was born in China daughter of missionaries. She created a fascinating story of a striving peasant family. When Mao came to power she was no longer welcomed in China.The realism of her writing was not appreciated. 1960’s: “The Group” by Mary McCarthy (it’s really good). I’ve heard of most of the books you mentioned. Several were read as school assignments which varied by our different generations. “In Cold Blood” was assigned reading in 10th grade during the 1970’s. With today’s current climate it probably wouldn’t be assigned at all. (Trigger warnings, etc)
The Good Earth is one of my favorite books. Don't want to give spoilers but there are several instances where, um, cultural sensibilities are different.
if you want to introduce science fiction Asimov is the way to go i’ve read this year the two prequels to the foundation trilogy and it was such a good read , he writes so well
Omg Knausgaard's My struggle... I can see that the English translation took the easy route (its original title is Min Kamp/Mein Kampf. I haven't read anything by him but a lot of that book series' sequels reference something to do with Nazism such as "The third kingdom". )
When I saw the 1910s, I thought the list was a joke. Only Freud gave some dignity to it. But then came the 1920s list with all the names I expected. And then I noticed the list was legit.
You want a good western... read "Blood Meridien" by Cormac McCarthy. BTW... Be careful with those hot juices dripping on you and, also, that hot cup of tea. Peace on earth.
Thanks. You're enjoyable to watch and listen to. I liked the list, that is, I was entertained by it and your commentary, but the lists are not very representative. No Dreiser, no Anais Nin, no Edith Wharton, no Hesse. I think you should read "Lonesome Dove" since you want to get into cowboy/western novels. It's a real hoot and very easy but engaging reading. You will definitely like it. And I want you to do a video on it, too, because I know you'll make it be very funny and enjoyable.
So follow up read Metamorphisis, There There Stranger In Strange Land. Am currently reading Infinet Jest he wrot another book about tennis forget the name. Much shorter and easier to read. I. J. is a biographical novel then he committed suicide.
It makes sense that children's books are so represented in the 40's given that that was the start of the baby boomer generation. Lotta babies to read to before bed
'Whose Names Are Unknown' by Sanora Babb was the Grapes of Wrath written by someone who was actually there, but didn't count at the time. Too female, too poor. Luckily we can fix that now.
if you want to read more sci fi do not go for heinlein, whose fiction is uncomfortably sexist. i think you might like philip k dick or samuel delany, who wrote very weird sci fi
Peter and Wendy by JM Barrie... better known as "Peter Pan" (can't believe Lit Hub didn't include that important fact!)
Lol right?! 😂 I was like “Of course you’ve heard of it!” But not everyone will make the leap 😊
I read this recently and I was surprised how dark it was
"Peter and Wendy" is lovely, but IMO "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens", which preceded it, is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful things ever written.
@orpheusgoeselectric I've never heard of that, I'll have to check it out
I find the chapter entitled "Lock Out Time" to be particularly moving.
I audibly gasped when you said you hadn't heard of Peter Pan. I didn't even know that was possible
Grapes of Wrath is spectacular and devastating. One of the most powerful endings I’ve ever read and the entire book is just GORGEOUSLY written!
John steinbeck or boyd cable?
Also thank you for not having ads through the whole video! ❤❤❤
@@Horrorbabe4 Steinbeck. Don’t know the other guy.
@@Lari-lc3zqlol thanks
Yes, I also prefer Grapes of Wrath over East of Eden😊
The struggle through the Brussels spouts joke only for the punchline to be “wow” killed me
Clearly she was implying 'Oleg's balls'.
You have a wicked sense of humor! Love it!!
The Maltese Falcon is so good, you truly feel like you are in San Francisco with how descriptive Hammett is. I also love that they have streets named after the book/author and a plaque where an important event in the book happened
I had to watch the movie for a film class but I didn't know it was a book until just now. I'll have to keep an eye out for a copy.
A few books you might enjoy:
1920's: Cather - Death Comes for the Archbishop - about place - New Mexico
1930's: Steinbeck -Grapes of Wrath - wonderful
2012: Rifka - Tell the Wolves I'm Home - poignant yet heart-warming
Books I've read many times from late teens to my early 40's - Rand: The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged - but I read them more as a study in individualism and humanity (if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything) rather than a primer on how to be a jerk politician and/or businessman and/or human.
Enjoyed the video! Thank you! 🙏🏼✨🤓
I read The Good Earth when I was a pre-teen, just plucked it off the shelf, and let me tell ya… what a novel to read as a kid. Have read it again as an adult and I still love it, but appreciate its pros more. Worth reading for sure
Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien is fantastic, so dark and surreal, haunting portrayal of a soldier's mindset/ptsd
The Lottery & Other Stories is so so so good. Love my girl Shirley
Not only is Lonesome Dove a spectacular book, but also your inner lingo would be so very pleased to meet it's lingo.
I agree with all the books from the 50's, but I would personally want to add "Lord of the Flies" to this list.

Invisible Man is such a great read!
Oh I just read The Shinning, loved it! Then watched the movie, there are some differences (i believe King hates the movie) but I really enjoyed both.
love this video! I love to learn about obscure classics
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is one of my favorite novels! People who report back to me about it tend to say it's the saddest book they've ever read, haha. And I do agree. It's totally worth it. Member of the Wedding is also fantastic.
Booth Tarkington! Yesss great name! “Bring back those names!” 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 stop naming people Jennifer and Jessica 😅
Excuse me, you never heard of Peter Pan, Ana? :( Peter Pan is sad now..

Did you stop watching after ten and a half minutes.
There are books that when read will leave many unforgettable things and you will want to read them over and over again because they are so good.

I bought that Freud book at a local used book store recently 😂 I enjoy reading him and Jung

So are you saying that books today are not as difficult because it's mostly women who are readers?
You MUST read Grapes of Wrath!

You might really like Nightwood
Also if you want a Bolaño I'd try Savage Detectives or By Night in Chile (a shorty)!
i love heart is a lonely hunter!!
you have to read The Metamorphosis! you'll love it!
and The Things They Carried, I can't believe you haven't read that either
A lot of exciting books on the shelf.
Are these all books or just adult books? I'm surprised that the wizard of Oz or any of L Frank Baulm's books was not there. The first one was written in 1900 but it was a series. I'm sure there must have been people eagerly awaiting the next book, like The Prisoner of Azkaban.
Love The Things They Carried so much ❤
The brussel sprouts joke and the piano coming in at "what we talk about when we talk about love" lmaooo you're too funny
2666 is a unique and well written book. DO not let its size discourage you!
Glad I'm not the only one who hadn't heard of a lot of these....

22:00 "i wanna say" lol your dads advice. I had an 80 yr old woman [my professor] tell me that once😂 she was so sweet.
Sherwood Anderson is definitely worth a read
Yeah, don't bother with White Noise. It used to be that every review of a DeLillo book said he was "our leading novelist of ideas," and every time I read that, I said, "If that's true, we need better ideas."
If you like the Helter Skelter, you should definitely read How to make friends and influence people. It was Charlie's favorite book.
Book trivia:
“The Magnificent Ambersons”earned Booth Tarkington his first Pulitzer.

i’ve read this year the two prequels to the foundation trilogy and it was such a good read , he writes so well

Make Zane Grey famous again. Just for the sake of his cool name.
Great video, im surprised I've read some of them
I would love to watch you make a video like you did previously of big book, but this time little book, for those of us who have short attention span
Neuromancer defined a new subgenere of science fiction, so it's worth a read.
I'm surprised Confendency of Dunces isn't on this list.
i personally think that those books defined decades in USA, but in Europe some decades could be filled with different books and topics
Ooh, I really want to read Nightwood
It's the most popular in the north America, or in the USA? Sorry, I've lost that info 😅
I would argue that Gatsby didn’t really define the 20s, nor was it popular during the decade. It didn’t become popular until WWII.
I think it’s fair to say it retrospectively defined the 20s.
So which book did?
Riders Of The Purple Sage is great!
❤❤❤❤. That’s is all😊
Wing Biddlebaum in Winesburg. I mean, yes!
If you only ever read one western make it lonesome dove.
The Good Earth is excellent!
You want a good western... read "Blood Meridien" by Cormac McCarthy.
BTW... Be careful with those hot juices dripping on you
and, also, that hot cup of tea.
Peace on earth.
Infinite Jest mentioned 🫨🫨
How come Madonna’s notorious 1992 book, Sex, is never on these lists?
Sun also Rises is great
How do u get a book from the bottom of that book tower?
Thanks. You're enjoyable to watch and listen to. I liked the list, that is, I was entertained by it and your commentary, but the lists are not very representative. No Dreiser, no Anais Nin, no Edith Wharton, no Hesse. I think you should read "Lonesome Dove" since you want to get into cowboy/western novels. It's a real hoot and very easy but engaging reading. You will definitely like it. And I want you to do a video on it, too, because I know you'll make it be very funny and enjoyable.
Never heard of Peter Pan?? Surely...
So follow up read Metamorphisis, There There Stranger In Strange Land. Am currently reading Infinet Jest he wrot another book about tennis forget the name. Much shorter and easier to read. I. J. is a biographical novel then he committed suicide.
Please read Kavelier and Clay!
Proof that popularity means nothing.
Read The Good Earth. It withstands the test of time.
So i may add a comment later but Peter Pan yes Ulysis high school reguired Farenhiet 451 hischool reguired 1984 yes
It makes sense that children's books are so represented in the 40's given that that was the start of the baby boomer generation. Lotta babies to read to before bed
To me, any list that leaves off the great Henry Valentine Miller renders itself negligible.
Who?😂 also do you say "renders itself negligible" in your daily life?
@thehorrorwasforlove Henry Miller. The greatest writer of the 20th century.
