Favourite 20th Century British Classics

1984 i still think it's one of the most interesting dystopian books ever written

some of his novels from the 30s particularly vile bodies from 1930 and a handful of dust from 1934 i absolutely love and i find hilarious

after leaving mr mckenzie and good morning midnight i really enjoyed them both

my favorite by her is definitely the standalone book and then there were none which is a wonderful fantastic gripping like crazy amazing

i'm not a big fan of bryce head of wrestling which is his most famous novel and which is from the 1940s i don't really get on with bryce head wristed to be honest i don't like the writing style and i find the main character like so dislikable

excellent women tell the story of a woman who is kind of one of those women who's considered to be very good... i just think her books are truly amazing and highly recommend them

after leaving mr mckenzie and good morning midnight i really enjoyed them both

both of these books i really enjoyed hangover square more i think though it's been quite a few years since i've read it so i don't remember it that well

my favorite two books by him are howard's end which tells the story of like several very different families and kind of different positions class wise in british society and how they interact with each other

my favorite book by him is kips which is a book from 1905... i just think it's really fantastically done fantastically written fantastically explored kips is such a fantastic character and i just love it

i really enjoy her as an author she writes weird books they're quite weird but love is like really incestuous very weird

i find them completely hilarious and just such good fun so i highly recommend them

i've only read one book by her which is this mariana which i really enjoyed

maurice which was written in 1914 but not published until the 70s after ian force's death which is the story of a gay man kind of struggling with his sexuality and how that makes him an outcast of his society is just like an amazing lgbtq classic and it's just so beautiful and i love it so much and you should read it

this is a wonderful novel from 1938... it's a wonderful feel good novel that is really fantastic and really interesting and i highly recommend it

my other two favorites are probably murder on the origin express and the murder of rodrikory which are two prior books which i think of the ones i've read so far have the best mysteries and amazing characters as well

my cousin rachel is about a young man whose uncle dies in mysterious circumstances and his uncle's very new wife rachel comes to stay with him and may enchant him slightly too it is also amazing i love both of these books

quartet and autumn is about four colleagues who are all sort of about to retire who are all kind of lonely people it's truly beautiful

both of these books are in the same series and they follow a woman called lucia who is sort of the queen bee of her small town and takes her like popularity and her position very seriously but is a bit silly and kind of means well but also is trying to like constantly one up everyone around her it's very funny and just completely entertaining and delightful in every way

i think rebecca is slightly more my favorite rebecca tells the story of a young woman who marries a man and when she moves into his grand country house with him she discovers that his previous wife his late wife rebecca who died some years ago kind of like figuratively haunts the place

the bloody chamber is a collection of short stories which is like weird twisted fairy tales made really weird and i mean like really quite weird but in a wonderful way

i absolutely love it i think it's wonderful and it's one i'd really like to reread actually

my other two favorites are probably murder on the origin express and the murder of rodrikory which are two prior books which i think of the ones i've read so far have the best mysteries and amazing characters as well

the only thing i've read by her is the prime of miss jean brodie from 1961 but i absolutely loved it

the road to a pier is just fantastic and fascinating yeah just a wonderful book

both of these books i really enjoyed... i really like how patrick hamilton writes about society and about class

the magic toy shop is about a girl who after the death of her parents has to go and live in the toy shop where everything is quite weird

i've literally just finished this but i really loved it

some of his novels from the 30s particularly vile bodies from 1930 and a handful of dust from 1934 i absolutely love and i find hilarious

this is the only thing i've read by diana gardner but it contains quite a few of her short stories and i just absolutely loved it

white sagaswicky is a sort of jane eyre retelling which actually is not my favorite thing by gene reese at all i don't love white sagaswicky

the only thing i've read by her is young anne which i've read quite recently but i love this
