Just got Into classic reading, as a teen it's a difficult transition as books written nowadays are fast paced and we rarely get the pleasure of slowly learning more about the characters, with each chapter.
In no particular order, Crime and Punishment Notes from Underground The Grapes of Wrath East of Eden Heart of Darkness A Christmas Carol Dracula Dubliners
My favourites include - Jane Eyre - Great Gatsby - Catcher in the Rye - Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Great Expectations
In no particular order: - The Picture of Dorian Gray - The Great Gatsby - Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass - the Sherlock Holmes stories - Watership Down - Frankenstein - All Quiet on the Western Front - Slaughterhouse-Five - Candide - the plays of Aristophanes

Great list!
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.

That stack of your own book in the background!!! 😍🥰 My faves are: - The good Person of Sczechwan - Evelina by Fanny Burney - Mansfield Park and Sense and Sensibility - The Picture of Dorian Grey - The Count of Monte Cristo
First time I'm watching one of your videos and I'm literally holding a copy of Far From the Madding Crowd!!! When I mention this book to somebody, every time they tell me they've never heard of it. I am so glad and surprised to know you've read it and it's on your top 3! I 100% agree with you and I'm also so happy to know that there is someone who loves classics and all they want to talk about is classics just like me. Subscribed for life 👍
What a lovely video. I always love when you talk about classics. Some of my favorites are East of Eden, the catcher in the rye, Giovanni’s room, and A street car named Desire
I haven't read that many classics, but I fucking LOVE The count of Monte Cristo and Jane Eyre 😍
Some of your favorites are my favorites too. In no particular order these are some of my many beloved classics: Sense and Sensibility- Jane Austen Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë The tenant of Wildfell Hall - Anne Brontë Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens Far From the Madding Crowd- Thomas Hardy Tess of the D’Urbervilles- Thomas Hardy The Woman in White- Wilkie Collins The Secret Garden- Frances Hodgson Burnett Emma - Jane Austen The Age Of Innocence- Edith Wharton Lucy you should do a favorite Modern Classics Video!

Thank you for introducing me to Shirley! I loved it! Northanger Abbey surprised me a lot, like you said it's not an obvious choice. I love your enthusiasm!
I love all your classics videos, your passion is infectious. Many of my favourites are on your list but I'm yet to read Shirley, hoping to get to it sometime this year.
1. Wuthering Heights 2. The Woodlanders 3. North and South 4. Agnes Grey 5. Far From the Madding Crowd

I could seriously listen to you for hours. Thank you so much for sharing :)
I’m so happy you like LM Montgomery! She is from my corner of the world (Im from Halifax, where Anne Shirley was born☺️)and it is so nice to see people from around here recognized, because it doesn’t happen very often! I would recommend The Story Girl by LM Montgomery. It was a book that meant so much to me as a child, and is just a really beautiful and underrated work. Good luck with your book!!
Charlotte Bronte is my favorite of the three sisters. I've only read two of her books. Now I need to add this one.
I read that the character of Shirley was heavily inspired by Emily Bronte. That it was a kind of homage to her sister
Thomas Hardy...Jude the Obscure. A great tragic novel.
These are all some of my favorite classics as well! (with the exception of The Woodlanders, which I still haven't read). Catherine Moreland is one of the most underrated Austen protagonists! This was a pleasure to watch as your passion for these classic gems shines so strongly. :)
I’m very late to this video but have really enjoyed seeing the classics you enjoy the most. Definitely excited to get to the ones I haven’t read.
- Emma, Jane Austen. - The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins - A Tale of two Cities, Charles Dickens - The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare - Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov.
I'm glad you included the 2 modern classics, The Catcher in the Rye and the Bell Jar. I don't see a Dickens book in anyone's list! I will have to give this question some serious thought before I can say what my all time fave classics are, but just in this moment I would choose Wuthering Heights, Dracula, and Frankenstein. Picture of Dorian Gray was pretty amazing, too.
I like: Catcher in the Rye Wuthering Heights To kill a Mockingbird Lord of the flies The invisible Man Picture of Dorian Grey and The importance of Being Earnest (play) All my sons (play) And currently reading Pride and prejudice which so far it's real good. Great video and recommendations btw!
YES I missed your videos so much! LOVE Pride & Prejudice and Wuthering Heights (need to reread it though!), and I'm currently reading Northanger Abbey! so many of the others are on my tbr 💗
1) Jane Eyre / The Wuthering Heights - Charlotte and Emily Brontë 2) The tenant of Wildfell Hall - Anne Brontë 3) Persuasion - Jane Austen 4)The monk - Matthew Gregory Lewis5) Martin Eden - Jack London
I love the Bell Jar and totally agree with the feeling of understanding it provides, I will definitely have a go of the Catcher in the Rye too!
I love Austen's and bronte sisters' books than any others!!! I don't know how to choose between these!!! Currently I'm reading villlette and the next would be Shirley!
Love this video. Have half of these books & read them.💕 Look forward to reading the other ones too.

Awesome channel! Salute to the classics!
I love Northanger Abby! Austen's set up of creating a novel about novels and parodying novels is fantastic. I also include "The Bronte Sisters" as one of my favorite authors, Jane Eyre is my all time favorite book, they're writing is just so beautiful. I've been meaning to read Agnes Grey for a while, I really should, I know the Bronte's won't disappoint me. Another favorite of mine is Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess is just a cutest simple story I adore.
Awesome video! I have recently begun reading classics but my current favorites are... 1) Anne of the Island (and all of the Anne of Green Gables books!) - LM Montgomery 2) Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen 3) Little Women - Louisa May Alcott 4) Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 5) A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens I have so many more to read and I'm so excited about it! Up next is Great Expectations, Persuasion, Jane Eyre and The Great Gatsby to name a few:)
I was shocked with withering heights. I loved it. Couldn't get on with the paperback the first time, put it off until I needed it for my college work. Ended up getting the audio book and loving it. Lol.
I've only just started watching your channel as I've fallen in love with the Brontes, I'm only on my fourth book, but I'm just so in awe of them and moved by their writing. I was expecting Jane Eyre to be your no 1 though! 😃 I haven't read Shirley yet but it's next on my list, and now I've heard you talk about it, I'm really looking forward to it now. Thank you for your recommendations, I have added them to my list. 😊
thnx for making this video lucyyy 💕
Love your videos. Very encouraged. 🙂 I have read classics here & there but I really want to challenge myself to read more & more consistantly because I really love reading especially Victorian literature. Love the Brontës, Jane Austen & George Elliot.
Loved this video! Do you think you will be filming the rest of your bookshelf tours? I think everyone is slightly jealous of your beautiful collection! :) x
I have that edition of wurhuring heights. Don't judge a book but the cover is beautiful and captures the book so well.

Anne of green gables! Favourite book of all time!
You gave me some great tips! Thank you :)
1. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess 2. The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov 3. East of Eden by John Steinbeck 4. Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky 5. Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
I've only started reading classics in 2018, but my favorite so far is Jane Eyre :)
North and South by Emily Gaskell, hands down
I still have lots classics on my TBR, but so far these are the ones that stood out for me: Little Women - L. M. Alcoot Sense and sensibility Pride and prejudice - J. Austen And more like a modern classic: To kill a Mockingbird - H. Lee ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad you have a great video on classics! I love classics and I wish other booktubers talked about them more! Some of my favorite classics are: -Persuasion -Pride and Prejudice -The Catcher in the Rye -Howard's End -I Capture the Castle -Gilead -The Bell Jar -Bleak House -Rebecca and my favorite book of all time, "Till We Have Faces" by C.S. Lewis. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
You're the one who convinced and compelled me to read the Brontës Lucy! Agnes Grey was my first and I loved it! I loved Wuthering Heights too🙂. I'm yet to read your fav book Shirley though💜
Smashing plot twist with Agnes Grey. The unheralded Brontë has her day! I have read Tenent, but have yet to read Agnes Grey. I really to want to read this one now!
Anne of green gables is easily my favourite Classic followed by to kill a mockingbird and the secret garden
How wonderful to see a new video from you! I'm really looking forward to reading the bell jar and Jane Eyre, they've been on my TBR for ages. 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.
I’m a sucker for modern classics in all honesty. 1)East of Eden 2)Slaughter house 5 3)So long, see you tomorrow 4)Lolita 5)We have always lived in the castle
I will read shirley soon, because of this, thank you!
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.
My Final 10 (in no particular order): 1. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë 2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 3. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens 4. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë 5. Far From The Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy 6. Little Women/Little Men/Jo's Boys by Louisa May Alcott 7. Persuasion by Jane Austen 8. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee & The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger 9. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley 10. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
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.

Great video. My personal favourites (although I have many more to explore) are: The return of the native (Great audiobook narrated by Alan rickman!), War and Peace, Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice 😊 Hardy is my favourite author, I need to read the Woodlanders.

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.
Romola, Man Without Qualities, Daniel Deronda, Against The Day, Brothers K, Middlemarch, War and Peace, Canterbury Tales, Bleeding Edge, Baudelino.
