- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- Dracula by Bram Stoker
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
- Animal Farm by George Orwell
- To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
- Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

I've been meaning to read Pride and Prejudice for quite some time, but haven't made the jump into doing so...Little Women is another I've been meaning to read, however, I made the mistake in watching the movie first, so we'll see if I end up reading it, lol. Hm...I tried To Kill a Mockingbird, but I had a hard time getting into it. Not sure why.
I recently read Anne of Green Gables and really enjoyed it!

Seems I need to do some catching up on classics. I've read To Kill a Mockingbird years ago but haven't read the others. And I call myself a reader.

I read and liked 1984 and highly recommend Pride and Prejudice.Amanda Newton wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 19:04 I plan to read Dracula sometime this month. I've never read Pride and Prejudice, I may have to see about that one soon! One of my favorite classic books has been 1984 by Orwell
