I want the read the classics that every adult should have read. For example i think that some of the classics would be: 1984, Night, Odepieus (dont know how to spell it), Grapes of wrath, Pride and prejudice. Heres what i mean. So im 26 and im talking to a group of people that love to read and their talking about the great books theyve read ever since college. What books should i have read that might be mentioned?
Answer
oh wow, this list can go on forever but just off the top of my head:
Jekyll and Hyde
Animal Farm
War and Peace
Anna Karenina
The Great Gatsby
Catcher in the Rye
To Kill A Mockingbird
Heart of Darkness
Hamlet
Romeo + Juliette
Lord of the Flies
Wuthering Heights
Siddartha
Huckleberry Finn
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Great Expectations
Don Quixote
Candide
Frankenstein
The Tell-Tale Heart
I could go on and on but its not like you could read all of those in one year anyway. I would advise you never to pretend to have read any classic though, for the sake of looking cool, its very easy to spot a fake.
