You, are a woman of character

Personally, I would add Frankenstein to the list. Dr Frankenstein demonstrates how we sometimes get caught up in the idea that we can do something but without looking at the bigger picture and asking the question 'should I do it?' It's not until shortly after that he realizes that he has created something that is destructive. In the end it had destroyed everything in his life. It reminds us to stop and think before we do.

Rhonda Ray, Frankenstein is a good concept, but it reads like it was written by a 19 year old girl.

Reading is increasing the power of thinking. Read to read the new face of words for future creation. Books are our real wealth to distribute the knowledgeable treasure.

I would recommend Anna Karenina. I. Believe this book shows the reality of life for many people in this world. It is truly a tragic story, where Anna is caught between a lifeless marriage and her passion for her young lover. Tolstoy had deep insight when he wrote this book.

My favourite is "Wuthering Heights"... i think that "The Tenant of Wildfellhall" also has its place on the list

Wuthering Heights is one of the best books I've ever read

Alux i learn so much from you guys. Wednesday is my all time favorite to look forward to. The book club. I built the best library because of you guys. Thank you.

As much as I hated reading the Scarlet Letter last year for school, I have made choices in the past, and everything is reflected in the Scarlet Letter. Literally everything. It’s such a realistic fictional story, it’s crazy.

I have a letter from Margaret Mitchell, she wrote it to my grandfather and it has some insightful personal information about her not in public knowledge.

Dracula should be on there. I never tire of reading this classic, which bears no resemblance to the many amateurish films made on the subject. Reading it will make you wonder if vampires do indeed exist. Well worth a read!

I would like to recommend 1984, Kite Runner, Lord of the Flies cause they all are wonderful evergreen classic books to read AND LEARN about the different aspects of our society

Crime and Punishment is my favorite novel of all time.

The only reason I watched the second part was to find out if the great Marcel Proust has managed to find his way to your list.... But no. I guess this epic masterpiece, "In search of lost time", is not as "classic" as some of those (32!) books...Not to mention that almost the 3/4 are written by American and English authors.

Well after moving to NYC at age 23 I must learn English and Just because I was familiar with the subject matter of the book I started reading them I saved the books for my daughter one book was Good Solider Sowake every page I read I have to go to dictionaries over 20 times to know the meaning of the word and I use to write meaning right under the word by the time you get to the end of the book every page do not have moor than 1 or2 under writing I was so proud of my self I Kant book and show it to anybody’s is interested . I thought I learn English .after all this years 50 , my humble Opinion on English is: One Off the most difficult with the creative writing and Pronunciation. And the book writing withe original language is way better ,to bad Ido not speak RUSSAN.my next life .

Irwin Shaw....great mid century novelist...”Rich Man, Poor Man”...also a riveting early TV Miniseries..young, handsome Nick Nolte, Ed Asner., Peter Strauss.....also...”The Young Lions”....

“Little Dorit”......by Charles Dickens also “The Old Curiosity Shop”..... “Nicholas “ Nickleby” et al.

Rebecca is missing from the list! I loved the book as well as the film.

Can believe Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens didn’t make the cut 🤔

All the Austins. Lewis Carrol. Edith Wharton.

Anne of Green Gables, where entire passages are lifted verbatim out of Little Women without giving credit to the original author. Unfortunately, that was a common and accepted practice back then.

I think there should be some Latin American books here. So, I will just leave this: Pedro Páramo by Juán Rulfo The Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges Hopscotch by Julio Córtazar One hundred years of solitude by Gabriel García Márquez Open veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano

Well i would recommend the not well knowed in the list but known where i am from. Would recomend "The Maias" book or "Crime of father Amaro" by Eça de Queiroz, Fernando Pessoa book of disquiet and The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas or " Dom Casmurro" by Machado de Assis.

I hadn't read many titles of part one, but for this part, including movies of the books, I know about 2/3rds and read almost half. Which I think is enough 😉.

My only complaint about these two lists, is that there is no part 3 or part 4. 😂😂😂 Great choices! I am going to check out your other lists now.

Glad to have read 4 books that are on this list 😊😊

Any book by Fyodor Dostoevsky is amazing!

Shoe dog by Phil Knight is also a good book which Warren buffet and bill gate and more billionaire have praised tht book

I’d recommend The Chocolate War. It’s pretty good and was one of the few fiction books I read whose characters didn’t overlap with me (why I don’t read a lot of fiction)

Where the hell is "Don Quixote"

As always, ANY book list is subjective, because somebody will always believe something else shoulda been added. Sure, it's good to read the classics so you'll know the references folk seem to be talking about all the time, but some of these classics are over-rated. If YOU like it, it's good, because only YOU know what YOU like.

Watched 2 parts Amazing how there is no Catcher and the Rye, Slaughterhouse-Five, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Lord of the Rings, Fahrenheit 451, Great Expectations, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Don Quixote, The Great Gatsby, Call of the Wild, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Heart of Darkness, Gulliver's Travels and so many more are missing. BTW I read the Giver and The Outsiders in 7th grade, they were crap back then and still are.

The Giver and The Outsiders are both classics, and they're great. All the books that you said really should have been put in this list.

6:00 instead of 8. Lord of the flies read Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman. The Bregmans book(introductory chapter) speaks of the truthfulness of the event described in the book Lord of the Flies...

So many books which should have been somewhere in your top 30 such as Madame Bovary by Flaubert, The Red and the Black by Stendahl, and Don Quixote by Cervantes. Oh, the reviewer prefers books by women authors!

This is what I like, excellent #alux. 1984 is relevant today as it was then-1947-8.

I've read about half of these books. The Alchemist in a list of the 15 best books of all time? No. Lord of the Flies? No. Gone with the Wind? No. 1984? No. The Kite Runner? No. Yes they are good reads but THE BEST 15 of all time? Yikes. You need to do a much deeper dive than this. Crime and Punishment? Yes definitely. Perhaps War and Peace. What about Macheavelli? What about St. Augustines Confessions? The City of God? Don Quixote? Pilgrims Progress? Dickens books? Hawthorne? Beckett? Mark Twain? Sun Tzu? Read more books and try again....

It is interesting to see how billionaires like to be talked to, or, addressed: it is as if she is being blasted by waves of bliss just at the thought of being able to reach their eardrums. As far as she is concerned that is the peak of possible libidinal experiences you may have as a human being. She articulates how each book is get-off-able. From earnestness to sweet laughter, to assertive modes of articulating how you will react to each book. It is interesting the way they like to be swung from side to side as the narrator holds them tightly in the bossom of the prepared narrative that tells them there is nothing unexpected to be anticipated along the way. I hope the gets bank for it. It would be a total shit job.

Here is a great must read book from Project Gutenberg `files 50029` "Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven" (Psalm 85:11). It is a sacred text which contains actual visit of Jesus Christ among His other sheep (see John@) and writings of ancient prophets who lived on the American continent and bore witnesses of the Savior of the world from approximately 2200 BC to AD 421.

It is amazing now that the extreme right is burning books, promoting fear and ignorance that books are becoming essential to the survival of the culture. We need to promote critical thinking and imagination, otherwise, civilization will be destroyed by fanatics. I love crime and punishment because allowed me to enter the field of clinical psychology and learn that everyone has a dark side and the potential to become a monster or a savior. Before Freud and Jung, this novel advanced the study of the mind.
