Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
It is a truth universally acknowledged that this is one of the finest novels in the English language.
Dracula
Bram Stoker
Mina is the unsung hero. Without her organizational skills, Dracula would have won. Brain beats brawn.
Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë
The mystery of the third floor keeps you turning pages. Bronte knows how to build suspense.
Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo
Mary Shelley
Slow in parts and Victor's self-pity gets tiresome, but the creature's chapters are magnificent.
The Catcher in the Rye
J. P. Steed
Short, punchy, and unforgettable. Even if you don't like Holden, you can't forget him.
The Midnight Library
Matt Haig
Quick read with a big heart. Mrs. Elm is the librarian we all need in our lives.
Moby Dick
Herman Melville
The Pequod is a microcosm of America. Melville saw the cracks in the nation before the Civil War.
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
One of the most thought-provoking books I've ever read. The casual acceptance of totalitarianism is chilling.
Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë
I found it bleak and exhausting, but I can't deny its power. Emily Bronte was fearless.
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
J.R.R. Tolkien
Incredible world-building but the pacing can be glacial. Tom Bombadil chapters nearly lost me.
