Today I work my last day at my old job. So I thought I would look back and pick my favorite classic novels. I think every novel on the list fits the "classic" definition (no "modern classics"). None are kids books, but most are kid friendly enough...don't know about Grapes of Wrath or Galapagos there are "adult" scenes therein...but I read them both as a young adult and I didn't turn out so--um--and I'm a well-read adult. Actually the list would have had a lot more Dickens and Forster and Vonnegut if I did multiples by single authors. · Hard Times · Picture of Dorian Gray · Grapes of Wrath · Great Gatsby · All Quiet on the Western Front · Room with a View · The Hobbit · Watership Down · Heart of Darkness · Galapagos (by Kurt Vonnegut) |
