      I found Fahrenheit 451 incredibly boring although it does have an important message, I guess.

      We had to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury for English class this year. I am not really interested in reading science fiction and I could not think of such a technical and dystopian society where the thinking of humans has changed. However, I love the themes expressed and they felt very powerful. I have also read Ray Bradbury’s short stories, All Summer in a Day, The Pedestrian, and The Veldt.

    I would recommend, if you haven't read it, Anne of Green Gables. It is a beautiful story. It makes fun of the expecations of society in much the same was as Austen does. It is the story of an orphan named Anne who is adopted by an elderly brother and sister. They requested a boy to help on the farm but got Anne instead and they fall in love with her overactive imagination and dramatic personality. It's a beautiful, and hilarious coming of age story. Aw man, now I really hope you read it! I have so much love for this book!

      +Ann Janel Penaflor I've started and given up on it more times than I care to admit. The unabridged version is a pain to read. Dickens' prose is unnecessarily convoluted and makes it difficult to keep track of all the characters and events.

      You should read it! I read it and I really liked it. Although, sometimes it feels like the characters could be a little bit deeper. But Charles Dickens wasn’t really about that, he instead liked to use his characters to represent groups or ideas. Overall I thought it was a good book though.

    I enjoyed your recommendations, but I also just love the way you describe these books! I love the covers you have for Jane Austen's novels as well as Wizard of Oz. I was vaguely aware of The Borrowers being a book when I watched the film as a youngster, but I'd never taken the leap to seek it out. I've noted it down now to look out for in the future because I quite enjoy children's classics.

  • @jordanpearson9883
    @jordanpearson9883 8 лет назад +1

    Really great video! I struggle with classics, so to see this made me want to try a few more (especially The Outsiders. Saw the movie and really enjoyed it) I would recommend the Giver, because it is an amazing dystopian with a really messed up world. And the characters are great. I have seen you mention it in a TBR, but I don't remember if you have read it or not, so if you haven't it's a great one!

    @StarstruckFerSure 9 лет назад +3

    Two of my favourite classics are The Great Gatsby and A Midsummer Night's Dream. :)
    I have to read The Outsiders, my class was the only one in my whole grade to not read it (so 30 of us out of ~500 kids) and everyone raved about it, including people who didn't enjoy reading. I saw a play performed in my city though that was really good, but I watched it 8 years ago so I've forgotten most of it. Cannot wait to get my hands on it (hopefully) soon!

    I have that edition of Pride & Prejudice, too, and Sense & Sensibility. They are gorgeous! I just got them in June (or July) and I haven't read them yet but want to get to one of them soon. I actually haven't read any Jane Austen, and since I haven't I decided to read her books in order of when they were written/published. I think it will be interesting to see how her writing evolves.

    Thanks for the video.
    You should totally read Ana Karenina by Leon Tolstoi, The picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde (wich is one of my favorites) and The Lady of the Camelias by Alexander Dumas. I absolutly love this books. They are going to put you emotional and angry, really angry, but they´re classics, so you know.

    My favourite classic and one of my favourite books of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird. I was intimidated by it because I hadn't had great luck with classics before that, but it's narrated by a child and written in fairly modern language, so it's very easy to read, and on top of that it's creepy, nostalgic, emotional and sooooo heartwarming. Definitely give it a go if you haven't read it yet!

      For anyone reading this in the future, the book is called Fahrenheit 451. It's really interesting.

      bryan - agreed. I found it difficult to sympathize with the characters because they were so shallow.

    Thank you so much for these recommendations. I have not read any of these books or many classics at all, so this video was very helpful:) I studied The Outsiders play script in my drama class, but I think that reading the book will be a different experience. Also, when you mention A Tale of Two Cities, I can't help but think of Will and TessaXD

    For me, the list would feature at least:
    The Magic Mountain (Mann)
    Don Quijote (Cervantes)
    Brothers Karamazov (Dostojevski)
    A Hundred Years' Solitude (García Márquez)
    Middlemarch (Eliot)
    The Master and Margarita (Bulgakov)
    Narcissus and Goldmund (Hesse)
    They probably don't quite qualify yet due to their cultish status, but also W. G. Sebald (Austerlitz; also too recent), Italo Calvino (If On a Winter's Night a Traveler) and Georges Perec (Life A User's Manual) are definitely up there.

    • @rome8180
      @rome8180 5 лет назад

      I would say those last three you mentioned should all be considered classics. They make many top 100 books of all time lists.

    I got into Audio books towards the middle of last year and have almost exclusively been listening to the "classics". For Whom the Bell Tolls, Prisoner of Zenda (might be my favorite - if never read it, you must!), King Solomon's Mines, Dracula, The Mysterious Island being some of my favorites so far. Gave Moby Dick a try but just couldn't get into it; might try again later. Currently in the middle of The War of the Worlds.

    our teacher called "The Socs" "the Socks" and I was so confused when I read because I say "Sosch" too, so I was like 'wait what socks is she talking about" (that was when i was 13 excuse my stupidity)

    • @MakeupwithMeghan14

      it is pronounced "sosch" because Soc is supposed to be short for socials so "sosch" is the pronunciation.

    I freaking love Pride and Prejudice, unfortunately, I haven't gotten to any other of Jane Austen's books but I will soon! As a classic, I would recommend William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. That is the book that opened me to a whole other universe of reading! I also recommend Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan. Not exactly classic but I was reminded of it when you mentioned The Borrower's for some reason.

    Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite children's classics. I love all the ones you mentioned, though! And I couldn't recommend Shakespeare more-- there are some amazing speeches and stories and ideas in those old plays. My favorites will always be Hamlet and As You Like It. Well, I think they will. I'm fifteen and I imagine I'll have a much different reading experience with all these classics when I'm older.

    Have you read the other OZ books that Baum wrote? Though not as well known as The Wizard of OZ, I remember enjoying them a lot when I was younger and read them several times as my elementary school had the entire set. I loved the Borrowers too and borrowed it from the public library a lot.
