1984
George Orwell
The world-building is extraordinary. The concept of doublethink alone makes this essential reading.
The Midnight Library
Matt Haig
A beautiful concept - a library between life and death where each book is a life you could have lived.
Dracula
Bram Stoker
The sexuality beneath the surface is what makes Dracula timeless. Stoker tapped into primal fears.
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
Charming and surprisingly funny. The social commentary is razor-sharp beneath the romance.
Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë
The red room scene is pure gothic terror filtered through a child's consciousness. Unforgettable.
The great gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The American Dream deconstructed in under 200 pages. Efficient and devastating.
The Catcher in the Rye
J. P. Steed
Holden Caulfield is either the most relatable character ever or the most annoying. I'm in the first camp.
Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo
Mary Shelley
The creature reading Paradise Lost, Plutarch, and Goethe is such a beautiful detail. He educates himself into suffering.
Dracula
Bram Stoker
The epistolary format is genius - reading diary entries and letters makes the horror feel intimate and real.
Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë
Wild, passionate, and utterly unique. Heathcliff is one of literature's most complex antiheroes.
