I'm currently reading 1984 and considering trying to read more classics. I haven't read any classics since high school and did not enjoy any of the ones we were required to read. But people enjoy them and they're classics for a reason, right? I mainly read fantasy and/or romance, but I'd like to get over my avoidance of classic literature, and I'm sure literally no one will see this but by chance if any opinionated classics-lovers scroll by this then please please please what would you recommend I read next? (Under cut are the books I read in school.)

Middle school (what I can remember anyways):

Beowulf

The Pearl

The Giver

The Illustrated Man

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

High school:

Romeo and Juliet

Of Mice and Men

To Kill a Mockingbird

The Odyssey (...part of it)

Animal Farm

Lord of the Flies

Julius Caesar

All Quiet on the Western Front

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Great Gatsby

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Hamlet

Brave New World

I did read The Hobbit this year, which I loved on account of being a fantasy lover, and I'm excited to read Lord of the Rings at some point.

I finally started my full read of MDZS yesterday! Thought it'd be a good series to start the new year with. I read all of volume 1 yesterday, and so it's onto volume 2 today... I'm not sure how I'm going to survive the heartbreak up ahead.

Trying to be a good reader and leave comments on all the fics I read these days, defaulting to something like "Thank you for writing this, I loved it!" when I can't find more words to say.

Which, considering my recent fixation is Batjokes and I know so little about anything and everything superhero comics, means that's most of my comments.

Oh well, I'm having a good time here. (￣︶￣;)

Mid-Autumn Festival 2023! Hope everyone has a lovely day and gets to eat some delicious mooncake!
