Your Favorite Works of Classic Literature
Posted: 18 May 2015, 06:33
Hello all, this last semester I took an honors class that was a humanities-based English class and it was simply amazing. In the class I was exposed to many renowned authors and their works such as Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolfe, Annie Proulx, Mark Twain, etc. and really rekindled my love for reading.
In the class we were given a free online resource that many of you may know about (I'm new to the website as of just a few minutes ago, so I don't know how popular it is) called Project Gutenberg. In short, Project Gutenberg is committed to archiving and making accessible books that are available to the public domain; books that are no longer under copyright laws. There are thousands of books on the website that can be read in HTML format or downloaded as either a Kindle file, which you can transfer with ease to your Kindle, or as an EPUB file.
Currently I'm reading Gullivers Travels by Jonathon Swift and I'm on part 4 about to finish the story and was wondering what your favorite pieces of classic literature are? I think I'm going to read A Tale of Two Cities but I'm really curious to hear what some other great stories are!
