7 CLASSIC BOOKS that are Worth Reading

In this video we will take a look at the 7 great classic books that we read in our Patreon community. I will briefly outline the synopsis for each classic book, mention some of the classic book themes, and read excerpts from some of the books.
I can happily offer these classic book recommendations as worthy of your time. They may not be your immediate choices but each classic novel has value in developing your appreciation of the classics themselves or the time period of the classic literature that is often read.

For anyone curious about the Patreon group, it is worth every penny.
It’s not a very expensive charge for the studies we do and the lectures we receive.
If you love this channel then you’ll love the book group just as much!

There are a ton of booktubers out there and Tristan is head and shoulders above all of them!

Hi Tristan and other fellow readers, These videos are like stepping into the libraries of my youth (long since past) browsing all the books on the old shelving and not knowing which to choose. At least with these books I am given a good insight into them before picking the one that is going to be next. Love your videos Tristan keep up the good work.

Hi Tristan!! I could listen to you speak for hours on literature. Your enthusiasm for the classics is truly contagious, so much so I've gotten myself many of the texts you've spoken of on your channel and looking forward to read.(thankfully fairly inexpensively on kindle) Thank you for introduction to so many authors, many of who are not so widely discussed these days. So pleased to see you back on Booktube. Looking forward to listening to future videos.😃

My very next book is going to be A Month In The Country. I have bought it on your recommendation and I am practically tingling with excitement. all the others I have put on my (now very long) reading list. Thank you Tristan, once more, from the bottom of my heart. ❤

I'm starting to think A Month in the Country is your all-time favorite book...lol. You always light up when discussing it and talk about it with such passion. That said, I would agree with you, what a lovely novella it is. I thank you (again) for recommending it! 📚😊

[Kitereviews]

I'm really glad I discovered this channel! There are so many classic works I havent read or classic authors I havent ever heard of! 😊❤📚

A Month in the Country is in my top ten books of all time. You describe it beautifully and accurately. Thank you, Tristan. I love your channel. You and Ben McEvoy are everything good about BookTube 😊

Old Goriot was one of the 10 all time greatest books in Somerset Maugham’s list of greatest books.

[adrienne]

I so very much enjoy your book reviews and the way you always describe them with great enthusiasm. I’m definitely going to read Sybil, Old Goriot and A Month in the Country. I have already read the other novels mentioned. I always learn new insights about great literature from your reviews. Thanks Tristan.😊

A Room With A View……is one of my favorites! E.M. Forster motivates life in his works! Love your video’s and I thank you from Southern Ontario, Canada.

Thank you so much again Tristan, for your thoughtful explications, especially A Room with a View. All these decades, I never considered the title as a metaphor! Of course! So beautiful your opening the windows for me!

(Melanie here) Mary Barton and North and South are wonderful. I love Wives and Daughters also which you didn't mention. Thanks for your videos. They are great. -From Michigan USA

Yes, his enthusiasm is catching and he knows where as he speaks...

Dear Tristan! Thank you very much, again, for your thoughts. At your suggestion, I started re-reading the Room with a view. I read it with completely different eyes and agree with you. This is a fantastic novel with deep content. I recommend everyone to listen the Beethoven's sonata, which is included in the book. (piano sonata 32. c minor.) Lucy's swirling feelings are perfectly displayed in Beethoven's work.

A Month in The Country is currently on my TBR shelf, I am looimg forward to reading this book!! Great description and reading of this book, I can't wait to read it!!

[jackiesliterarycorner]

I'll be keeping an eye out for A Room with a View at the library or bookshop to add to my TBR. I love your lectures about literature. You are so passionate and help me understand the classics that I struggle with.

My first Charles Dickens was Great Expectations. A wonderful story. I hope to never forget Joe. ❤️
Enjoyed video. 🌻

A Room With a View has definitely moved up my TBR. And I swear I'll get to a Month in the Country eventually. Might be time for a Gatsby reading as well. I was thinking about giving Great Expectations another try until you mentioned the spiders. 🕷🕷🕷🕸🕸🎂
