Reading, sharing, and good old classics

22/7/2021

Do you like to talk about the books you enjoyed reading?
I must admit I'm a little irrational in this matter. I often feel possessive of my favorite stories, and get jealous or annoyed when I hear other people discuss them. Isn't it funny?
Still, sharing is important, and good for your soul, so I'm going to open my treasure chest and show you some of the gems I keep inside (never mind if they happen to be in your own treasure chest, too).

Here goes part one: list of my favorites classic novels. Check it out!

I do agree that reading books can help widen our perception of the world.

I sometimes mind sharing my favourites, too, especially when I feel emotionally attached to them... I always feel that even if the other person likes the book, they like it for the wrong or incomplete reasons ':D

But at the same time I like to drop some titles. I would definitely agree with Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice. Master and Margarita, The Count of Monte Cristo and Lord of the Flies are also one of my favourites. And The Rose and the Ring is such a wonderful satire!

On my part I would add:
Jane Austen's Emma
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness
Shakespeare's Hamlet and Midsummer Night's Dream
Jack London's White Fang
George Orwell's Animal Farm
Bruno Schulz's The Street of Crocodiles

But there are so many that I have yet to read. And so many great fantasy or science-fiction books (I don't know if we can call them classics... Maybe?).
Waiting for the next share of sharing! (Pun inteded)

Oh, fantasy novels. One of my favorite genres, and I believe they deserve a blog entry of their own. :)
