Classic English Literature

[disalarming]

I’ve been spending most of my spare time reading on my Kindle while I’ve been on the road. I’ve taken advantage of free public domain books to read some of the classics in English literature in an effort to expand my literary horizons. For years and years I’ve said I’ve wanted to read Dickens, Bronte, etc. Now, I’ve finally gotten off my lazy ass and have started reading them. For someone who once considered an English literature minor, it’s about time I started devouring more of the classics!

These are the ones I’ve read so far this summer:

• The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
• Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
• A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
• Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Next on my list are Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, and perhaps some Shakespeare.

Question of the Week: What English classics would you recommend to read?
