We had to read "Wuthering Heights" in high school and I was thoroughly prepared to hate it, but I loved it and plan on re-reading it one day, as well as reading her sister's "Jane Eyre."
There are so many excellent authors and books. I love seeing everyone's lists as I am sometimes introduced to a new to me book. Also, there are new books coming on the market on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing your list.
Although the Bible is a book of books..and without being preachy..its got just about everything in it. Especially the old testament. Even if we didn't know it as a religious book..its still very complex.
I liked David Copperfield. I like words too. But oh dear - Ulysses! I have yet to read and feel comfortable with that but guilty all at the same time. Wish I would have joined that group read BUT I didn't know about it until it was over. Darn.
Not funny. You waste our time at the beginning, with all the puppets who want to be on your list, and then then claim there is not enough time at the end to tell us your favorite. Who sets the time? It's not like we're watching a network show. Although I have nothing against the books you did tell us were on your list. I'm a straight guy, and I like Jane Austen. I think Harlod Bloom was endorsing her in the '90s. I think straight guys would do well to read really good books by women if they want to understand women. Possibly.
You want to sound impressive and consequential, but, really, apart from your self-importance, who are you and what are your credentials/qualifications???

You’re like the Svengoolie of booktube and I’m all about it. This video made my day 😂
'Love in the Age of Cholera' - Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe' - Douglas Adams.
My favourite book is 'Exploring The Earth and Moon' by Patrick Moore.
I love these kind of videos. Im open to trying different genres and authors. I dont think i could narrow it down to a top 10.
Les Miserables is simply the best. A pure privilege to read. Jean Valjean is the most heroic character is literature.

Great video! I need to read Herodotus.
The Pee Wee Football trophy! LOL (Made me wonder where my Little League Baseball trophies are -- chuckle.)
Since your channel name is Alyosha, how is #1 NOT Dostoevsky?! 😉
Fair point - I love O'Connor and I didn't have a cool name related to her. : )
@@BruceEtter Lol that's awesome! Btw sorry if I came across badly or anything, I didn't intend to, just being cheeky as the Brits say. 😊
@@philtheo Oh no, I did not take it that way at all - makes perfect sense!
I love David Copperfield!
Read Harper Lee and Me and find out what is really going on with To Kill a Mockingbird.
Great list
I guess he didn't take into account that folks would be watching this years later.
very good list, although i like "grapes of wrath" a little bit more than "east of eden"
Loved David Copperfield, but I'm 63 😂
There's too much non book talking here. Get to the point quicker, please.
Bullshit stops at 03:57
👍👍👍😊😅😄
Thanks
What a tease
