Mortal Instruments & Infernal Devices Lovers! discussion

Do any of you guys like to read classics? I do sometimes, and whenever we read them in school, I always enjoy it. I am a big fan of historical fiction as well. Favorite classics? The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm and Anne of Green Gables are a few faves!

I did drama in HS and my favorite classics were always plays. Tennessee Williams was a favorite, A Streetcar Named Desire was my favorite.

I've read a few clasics. I never read them in school since I don't live in the US but I've tried to read a few on my own. I read "A Tale if Two Cities" recently but mostly because of Will and Tessa =)

The Inferno, Tale of Two Cities, Picture of Dorian Gray

I like others but hose are currently my top three((:
I love reading classics, you get to experience life in a different way than modern:p

:D Cool! I really want to read A Tale of Two Cities, but I only have the ebook version, and I got ten chapters in and I wasn't feeling it. I think its the type of book that you have to have a hard copy of, you know?

What's it about? :D

It takes place in New Orleans, an aging southern belle doesn't get along with her bruttish brother in law and so much more. It's a classic! The film is wonderful as well, ever hear that classic film line, STELLA!!!! It's from this.

Cool! Thanks! :)

Yeah I have the Revlon version too, it was really hard to get into at first, but I forced myself to read and remember so I ended up loving it(:

Well I defiantly will, thanks! :)

no problem girl(:

Since there are no new books anymore that seem interesting to me, I've started with classics recently. I've read Vathek and The Castle of Otranto since it was mentioned in TMI and I got curious... It killed me.

Anything by Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Jane Austen, Tolkien, stuff like that.

shakespeare is amazing!!
Lord of the flies
anything by Edgar Allen Poe (Idon't ereally know if that is considered classic but..)
and plenty others that I can't think of right now :P

So far A Tale Of Two Cities, Pride and Prejudice, The Lord Of The Rings. (Lots Of Poetry)usually Dickinson, Poe, Frost, and Tennyson

1984,Jane Eyre, and Wuthering Heights

Oh and Led Miserables

I love classics. Jane Austen novels are my favorite. I especially love Persuasion. Jane Eyre was great too and I loved Animal Farm and 1984. A Brave New World was great too! I didn't like Catcher in the Rye or Wuthering Heights. So I guess, like any book genre, it comes down to the individual book if I like it or not.

I started my interest in classics with Pride and Prejudice and now I am moving to Dickens. Hope to read more!

Frankenstein the modern Prometheus

Has anyone here read A Tale of Two Cities? I want to try it...since Tessa and Will both liked it, teehee!

I have it, but I've never read it.

I love A Tale of Two Cities. The beginning is very slow, but then once you read the rest you realize it was amazing. You can't stop reading it, you have to continue even if you think its slow.

The Little Prince! *melts*
Am I the only person who actually liked Catcher in the Rye?

Oh I read the Little Prince! I don't think I actually finished it, but it was really good! By the way, I love your profile pic. Spirited Away is my favorite anime of all time!

Um.....Harry Potter is a modern classic....does that count?
I really wanna read the Secret Garden.
And I remember reading the Little Princess when I was young. I don't think I read the original version. It was one of those simpler versions where they put it in modern English. But I liked the story itself.

If you liked The Little Princess, then you will probably like The Secret Garden.

Thanks!
I don't know if this counts, but I want to read Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. Goodreads says that the Da Vinci Code is the second book in that series, but do you need to read Angels & Demons to understand Da Vinci code?

Hmmm, I know people who read The Da Vinci Code individually. They never said they had any problem with understanding it, but I've never read it myself.

To kill a mockingbird, Frankenstein, Wuthering heights

i dont remember reading any othr classics than the Secret Garden so idk

I didn't care for Frankesnstein, but the other two are good. :)

I love the book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen!! So good!!

Anything by Jane Austen, the Bronte sister and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Happy to hear the you love Anne of Green Gables, one of my all time favourite series, Gilbert and Anne are my OTP! And not many people know it's actually a series, there r 8 books, so if u've all read the 1st check the rest out

Well, I loved A Tale of Two Ciies, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Oliver Twist, Little Women and Pride and Prejudice. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Gulliver's Travels and Jane Eyre were enjoyable. Great Expectations and Wuthering Heights were extremely BORING though. The only character I found remotely interesting in the former was Miss Havisham. The narrator, Pip, himself was extremely dull and (view spoiler)[fell for the charms of a beautiful, deceptive maiden named Estella. (hide spoiler)]

My favorite classics are The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. I generally like to read classics, with some ya novels thrown in as well.

I never read classics for school/uni so I decided to start reading some and until now, I'm still not done with my classics tbr 😂

I've read a few and so far my favorites are:
• A Tale of Two Cities
• Pride and Prejudice
• To Kill a Mockingbird

I did enjoy reading:
• The Secret Garden
• Eat, Pray, Love
• The Hobbit
• Wuthering Heights

I absolutely loved Jane Eyre and The Count of Monte Cristo!
