I'm predominantly a classics reader, so when I saw this video on the algorithm, I had to click it!

The way you talk about these books is very infectious. Your passion for literature truly shines through, and you have earned yourself a new subscriber. :)

Love this video. Love to see Grapes of Wrath mentioned. I loved the writing style and the alternating viewpoints, once I figured out what was going on. And that ending will live rent free in my head forever.

The funny thing is that I first read Ethan Frome at a somewhat young age and always just appreciated the atmosphere. It wasn't until I got married and my husband explained the symbolism to me that I read it again and was like, "Oh my!"😂😂

First of all, The House of the Spirits is one of my favorite books EVER. I read it with a book club and it was one of our favorites for the year.

Second, thank you for reminding me of Flowers for Algernon. I read it in school, and I remember it being so thought provoking and powerful. I now want to reread it as an adult.

❤📚📚❤️ I'm glad you are enjoying the classics! I love them.
I'm reading The Woodlanders by Thomas Hardy now and really enjoying it.

I just started getting back into classics and my favorite so far is Frankenstein. So far, it’s the only classic that I have reread.

if you love King Arthur read the shadowhunter chronicles in the last two series she takes a LOT of inspo from Aurthurian legends especially with Cortana

As a classics lover, I appreciate so much this video! I love that this might actually help people get into this wonderful world and enjoy them. Thanks for the video! 😊

Edit: Actually I was able to get a couple of good recs, so thanks a lot!

As a German I personally think that Siddhartha is more an intermediate. I don't know how it is to read in other languages but if you read it in German it's quite challenging.  :)
Lovely video nevertheless 🩷
