Honestly my favorite dickens this year was definitely a christmas carol.
Tier ranking every classic I read in 2021
- Ranking · 34 books
I think i actually liked it better the first time i read it because like i said the more and more i read toll story the more and more i'm like i just become a lot more critical of him honestly and i think a lot of that is some internal bias but i loved it.
I loved anne of green gables so much such a wonderful story this is my first year reading it and i just it blew me away i loved it was just this precious jewel in my life and i adored it.
This one really surprised me this was gorgeous like sir philip sydney went off with this one it was just completely wonderful and i think it has to go into tattoo it on my face because the lines in here some of them i like highlighted and i wrote them down and some of them were just so beautiful.
At times it's so toxic it's so hard to read about it's so it's just so gut-wrenching and you just feel this awful like sickening sense the whole time that something awful is gonna happen and so this one i think absolutely has to go into thank you for the trauma.
I really love beowulf honestly i love grendel and those are my favorite sections and i think it has to go into what excellent boiled potatoes.
I did really like this is my first big piece of writing from nietzsche i'd read but i don't think it was anything groundbreaking for like me as a modern reader for back then completely understand.
The broken wings is a tragic love story that i read last year and the language in that it's just so poetic so beautiful it's like flowing water.
I like this but i didn't love it and a lot of it has already gone from my mind i think it has to go into cool story.
I've spent so much time with this text this year and it's a really cool experience to see it go from you know kind of hatred and big reluctance to read it to feeling like i can hold my own with a text that is quite dense complicated difficult to read.
It just took so many twists and turns it was actually quite dark in places and i was really like just i was not expecting it and it surprised me.
I really loved it but it just wasn't as i don't know if it was the translation but it wasn't as lyrical or beautiful as i was expecting.
This had some really powerful lines i really enjoyed julius caesar so much more than king lear which was his other work i got to read this year but wow super powerful i think i got chills.
King lear definitely not a favorite shakespeare play but i love studying it i just don't like the experience of reading it.
It's just such a guiding text in my life and i highly recommend it no matter where you are like it is you know it does counsel you a lot on how to write but it's just so much more than that.
I really liked this but it was not as hard hitting for me as i thought it was going to be it didn't affect me too much i wasn't really drawn to the story.
Nicholas nicole to me wasn't anything super special it was nice to see dickens grow but once again something i'll probably never read again honestly.
It was fine but definitely was not something that i really loved from dickens so i think i gave it three stars.
This is a masterpiece it's going right so i love you most ardently this is great five stars it didn't make it on my favorites of the year but john milton is just it's just so smart the language is divine.
It's not a bad book by any means but it's just i did not enjoy it at all and i think i just had a lot of problems with it.
It's just so hard to read but calabada is just such a master of like the haiku and subtlety and it's just so gorgeous but it also hurts so much because it's such a frustrating read such a beautiful read but such like a beautiful tragedy.
A lot of these poems were so beautiful they were great definitely wasn't like a whole new favorite but some of these were just so beautiful.
It was mesmerizing and it was like it's just like yes this is my thing this is what i love like i love the way you're writing it's very funny but at the same time it's sometimes very scary and there's a lot of very cool elements that he uses in these short stories to make you think about things in a certain way and i just really appreciate it.
Pretty much just this one and the bloody chamber which i don't think is in this video but this was one of the only short story collections i've ever truly enjoyed.
This might honestly be my least favorite real kit which is surprising this is a bit of an earlier work of his so i wasn't expecting to love it as much as he develops his ideas.
I really like this not as much as we have always lived in the castle and sometimes it was a bit hard to get through the writing sometimes just was a little odd but i really did like it.
I remember being quite tilted at the ending but now that i think more and more on it now that more and more time has passed i honestly just really enjoy it and i love it.
It was just like a little bit of a struggle to read it was extremely long and it's really hard to keep your attention on something when like the plot is just all over the place sometimes it doesn't really feel like there's one thread holding them all together.
This has to go into tattoo it on my freaking face because this was gorgeous jibran's words ever since i discovered him last year also thank you to this channel and so many people recommending him because that's how i discovered him but his language his poetry just everything is just so gorgeous.
They're really short they're really snappy they're very to the point and so i kind of missed that so i think it's gonna also have to go into cool story just because none of them really st stuck with me.
I just didn't love it wasn't a good experience reading it for me and i think it's gonna have to go into cool story that feels really bad because i love what it's doing but like in terms of enjoyment and even discussing it wasn't my jam.
It has to go into cool story because it really just was a cool story to me there really wasn't that much more to it.
I found it really dry and i think a lot of the things i mean i could be completely wrong but i think a lot of the things that thomas more finds eutopic utopic utopian i don't know why i always say try to say utopic it's definitely utopian to me is just not.
This was amazing this was a journey this is something i'm so proud of that i got to read this year and it was one of my top three favorite books of the year.
