1984
George Orwell
I appreciate its cultural significance but found the prose a bit dry. Still, the ideas are powerful.
The Midnight Library
Matt Haig
Read this during a tough time and it was exactly what I needed. Haig writes about mental health with such empathy.
Dracula
Bram Stoker
Some parts feel dated (Van Helsing's endless speeches) but the core horror is eternal.
Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë
The best female protagonist in 19th-century literature. Plain, poor, and absolutely formidable.
The Catcher in the Rye
J. P. Steed
Salinger captured teenage alienation like nobody else. The voice is so authentic it hurts.
Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo
Mary Shelley
Victor is infuriatingly passive. Every death could have been prevented if he'd taken responsibility.
The great gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Short but incredibly dense. Every sentence carries weight. Nick as an unreliable narrator adds layers.
Moby Dick
Herman Melville
Every chapter on whale classification is actually about human classification. Melville was playing 4D chess.
Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë
There is nothing else like this in literature. The raw, destructive passion is unlike anything Austen ever wrote.
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
J.R.R. Tolkien
The Hobbit is a perfect adventure story. LOTR is a perfect epic. Together they're unbeatable.
