    1. The Divine Comedy - Dante (I must have read this more than a dozen times over the years, as well as several books of commentary on it.) 2. Four Quartets - T.S. Eliot (Infinitely deep and endlessly thought provoking. There is no way one can exhaust this poem.) 3. The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoevsky (Quite possibly the greatest novel ever written. Certainly the most interesting characters.) 4. Kim - Kipling (So much local color and adventure, and a heartwarming friendship story across generations and cultures.) 5. Beowulf - the Seamus Heaney translation (Sometimes it's worthwhile to immerse ourselves in a totally alien culture.) 6. The Arthurian Poetry of Charles Williams (Extraordinarily difficult, yet more than worth the effort.) 7. Moby Dick - Melville (I've read this one 3 times so far, and I'm certain I have at least one more reading in me before I die.) 8. The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame (My favorite children's classic, except perhaps The Hobbit.) 9. A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth (Is this one a "classic"? It's not even 30 years old yet. Oh, well. It will someday definitely be one. For now, an instant classic.) 10. Canterbury Tales - Chaucer (Whatever you do, don't settle for a Modern English translation. Far, far better to read it in the original Middle English. Pure magic!)

    Mansfield Park needs to get more love. I encourage anyone who's read it and isn't too sure to read it again. Both the book and it's heroine Fanny are much deeper and more interesting than many people think. Forget about the adaptations - they never get Franny right.

I haven't read as many classics as I would have liked to, most of mine have been children's classics, but I'm really excited to read more in the future. My favourites at the moment are: Anne of Green Gables Little woman Heidi Emily of New Moon Pride and Prejudice I capture the castle Wuthering height's The secret Garden To kill a Mockingbird A Christmas carol I just finished reading Dorian Gray today and I think it may become one of my favourites, but I'm going to think about it for a couple of days before deciding.

    A very underrated classic novel but an insanely popular musical I really love is The Phantom of the Opera. Christine's character can be easily seen as ditsy or dumb at first glance (especially with the show, also depending on which actress) but when you read the book you learn much more about her background and its less of the Phantom's story and rather her own story.

    What a wonderful list of books!! I love hearing you talk about the stories you love, and most importantly what they mean to you. I have been watching your videos for years, and you are a huge reason of why I started reading more classic literature. I was always intimidated by the language and writing style, but now classics are one of my favorite genres to read. I'm currently reading Jane Eyre (my first EVER Bronte book) and I'm in love with the story and Charlotte's writing. I can't wait to keep reading the rest of the Bronte books. I want to thank you for motivating me, and I'm sure many others, to give the scary classics a try! They now feel like old friends!! Some of my favorite classics are: - The Anne of Green Gables series! - Little Women! - Pride and Prejudice! - Rebecca! - The Secret Garden! - To Kill A Mockingbird! -The Little Prince! -A Farewell to Arms -Jane Eyre (even though I haven't finished it yet!) ...and many more but I would be here for hours!! :) Happy Reading Lucy!!

    My exact reaction to these six Brontë novels. Loved, loved Jane Eyre, Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Villette. Wuthering Heights was so dark and full of cruelty. It truly surprises me that do many people love it so. Agnes Gray was okay, but unremarkable. I struggled with Shirley and never finished it. I guess I should give it a second try based on this video.

    Missy May's Reading Nook Colin Firth is a great actor but he was not fit for the role of Mr. Darcy. Jane Austen’s character is perfectly portrayed by Matthew Macfadyen. He has the exact qualities/defects/manners that Austen envisioned in Darcy. I saw both versions and only this one gave me the thrill and emotions of the story.

    This is a great list! I am going to try to read more classics in the coming year. Do you ever read non-fiction classics? I'm a new subscriber, so maybe I just haven't come across a video referencing that yet. I particularly enjoy travel/adventure non-fiction classics. A great one I read many years ago was called In the Land of White Death, by Valerian Albanov. It's about a ship that gets stuck in pack ice for a year in the Arctic, and their struggles to survive.
