I suggest reading Jane Austen's brilliant satire "Pride and Prejudice," which mocks 19th-century English society. The narrative follows the five Bennet sisters as they negotiate relationships, marriages, and societal norms. The characters are well depicted, with Elizabeth Bennet standing out as a protagonist who is exceptionally resilient and self-reliant. Sharp remarks on cultural norms and gender roles show off Austen's wit. The novel is a classic that never fails to enthrall readers with its social satire, humor, and romance.
It is a cherished classic that has been read and cherished for many years. The book's ongoing appeal is a testament to Austen's talent as a writer and her capacity to convey the subtleties of interpersonal interactions. Everyone can enjoy "Pride and Prejudice," whether they are lured in by the romance, the humor, or the social satire.

recently i read To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee is a poignant and powerful classic that explores themes of racial injustice, morality, and the loss of innocence. Set in 1930s Alabama, the novel follows Scout Finch, a young girl whose father, Atticus, defends an innocent African American man accused of rape. Through Scout's eyes, the story sheds light on the deep-rooted prejudices and social divisions of the time. Lee's lyrical prose and compelling characters make this book an enduring masterpiece that confronts readers with the complexities of humanity and the importance of compassion.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo is one of the greatest novels of all time. Fight for justice and good. The book discusses moral values and how it is not easy to get rid of bad past.

Well, there are so many...so I'll start with one.
The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas, is a real gem, which I first read in my childhood, and I still return to, from time to time. This marvelous history novel is set against the time period from Napoleon's exile in Elba, and many years later. It is a story of adventure, greed, jealousy, evil, conspiracy, crime, injustice, dispair, hope, love, hate, and much more, but mostly of REVENGE. The novel has been loved by many, and was adapted into many different movie and tv series versions.
An interesting anecdote is that when another classic french author - Jules Verne issued his novel "Mathias Sandorf", he sent a copy to his friend, Alexandre Dumas fils (the son) for review, with a letter attached to it, in which he dedicated the book to him and to his genious father, saying - "I have tried to make of Mathias Sandorf the Monte Cristo of the Extraordinary Voyages." And, indeed, Verne's "Mathias Sandorf", which has become a classic in itself, is similar in many ways to "Monte Cristo", but that is a subject for a another post.

I'm currently reading "The Time Machine" and loving it. I think the way Wells leaves the characters unnamed helps draw you into the story. By purposely leaving the descriptions vague, he allows you to create your own. You become a part of the story rather than just an observer.

I love the way Charles Dickens writes. I mean, it is so out of this world! His books like Great Expectations, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, and Oliver Twist.. not a chance to forget them including on your wishlist.

Other than him, Thomas Hardy's style is somewhat different and serene. His book Far From the Madding Crowd is so promising and truly a classic. It feels like you're wandering around in nature. It is so cool!

I love the male characters written by Jane Austen. They are so natural and realistic. Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, Wentworth from Persuasion , so natural!
