I should give that one a go! Have you read the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?

No not yet, on my TBR :)

I majored in literature both in college (the last two years of high school here), and at university. So... I took a LONG break from reading the classics because I'd overdosed on them!

However, there are a lot of well-known authors whose work I've never read, and now I'm going back to the older books.

I did a whole six-month study unit just on Hamlet. Not that I can remember much now!

Dracula is from the Victorian era. It is *definitely* a classic book. :)

Honestly my favorite "classic" book would have to be a series. Anne Of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

I grew up reading her stories and fell in love with the characters. I connected with Anne so much. This is my most treasured series too lol

Fell in love with both the 1934 ( Dawn O'Day ) the 1985 ( Megan Follows) films

DO IT!!!

I’m obsessed with Les Miserables. My next favorite is Rebecca.

Yeah, it’s like a psychological haunting with a Gothic vibe.

I like the sound of that!

i love anything by the bronte sisters, especially Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey

i also loved the three musketeers and i read dracula twice in one month once. i just finished my first read of it and immediately started over i loved it so much lol

and i'm big into daphne du maurier right now. rebecca is definitely my favorite so far though.

and idk if this counts as a classic, it was written in 1940s i think? but I Capture the Castle was amazing.

oh and The Scarlet Pimpernel i read in high school and fell in love with!! probably my favorite school assigned read

i didn't mean to mention so many i just really love classics ajdvkdna

One of the all time classics is All Quiet on the Western Front It may be set in WWI but its message about warfare is timeless.

The Grapes of Wrath

The best classic I've read is The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. It's one of the first books I read as a kid and one of the reasons why I fell in love with reading.

I absolutely love Jane Eyre! And I am slightly obsessed with the BBC mini TV-series adaptation of the book as well, have seen it more times than I care to admit haha.

The Monk is worth a read, was pretty good from what I remember.
