Love this one so much. I think it's one of Yeah, I think it's one of his best works, honestly. Highly recommend.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is actually not a fave shake shaky of mine. sorry, William.

I did really like this. If you are going to like Italy this summer, if you're traveling, I feel like this is a great travel book.

I only have this because I had to read this for a university course. Otherwise, I would just plainly just not be interested in it at all.

And then As You Like It. I actually really liked As You Like It. It was As I Liked It.

This is a very interesting piece of history because this is about the anti- Catholic Gordon riots in England and just a very cool history lesson really. And this one I don't like, eh, it's me. It's in the middle.

We have Brave New World by Aldis Huxley. I read this for uni. This was really good. I think it's time for a reread.

So, I have The Broken Wings, The Prophet, and then all of these, which are various little collections of like his thoughts and meditations, a self-portrait. Yeah. So, I haven't read any of these, but I've read both of these really like.

Chess by Spike. So good. So good. Write this down.

So, we have the first novel that he wrote, which is Childhood, Boyhood, Youth, very autobiographical. I actually really like this and I have such fond memories of reading this book.

First up we have The Count of Monte Cristo. I love this book so much. I love this book so much. Highly recommend that you read this.

And I can't believe that this was not a favorite Dickens of mine. I just did not really get into it.

However, this next one is actually a favorite Dickens of mine, and that is Donby and Sun. I really liked this one for so many different reasons.

Oh, I should mention that there is one missing from here which is East of Eden by Steinbeck which I'm currently reading. Really enjoying. I'm about a little over 200 pages through East of Eden right now.

Beautiful, wonderful flower collection. Oh my god. Poetry collection. I really enjoyed this.

We have my favorite Reese that I've read so far, which is Good Morning Midnight. I did like half of my undergrad thesis on this.

So, this is the translation by Robert Pinsky of the Inferno. read this and it was just like very interesting, very fun.

And then on top here I have the Pan McMillan editions of Julia Caesar. Love.

Obviously, I loved Little Women. I don't know why I thought that I didn't want to read Little Women because I loved it. So good.

McBth loved.

I'm pretty sure like the this edition made me hate the classic. You know, I don't know. It's just sus to me.

We have the Dickens book that defeated me. I couldn't couldn't do it. It's Martin Chuzzlewit.

Maurice by Ann Forester. I think I preferred A Room with a View.

Measure for Measure actually surprised me. I liked that one a lot.

As you can see by the tabs, my enjoyment and interest waned like halfway through. Like I said, this is not a favorite Dickens, but I will probably reread all these at some point in my life.

1984, another five-star read.

Northinger Abby is also not a fave Jane Austin.

Definitely, even though it's quite similar to David Copperfield, but this one is one of my favorites, and that's Oliver Twist. I just feel like you can feel anger.

We have Orlando, which is my favorite Virginia Wolf. Highly recommend.

This one is falling apart, but this is the Jane Austin that I most recently read. Not a Jane, not a Janie favorite for me, honestly.

I've already read it. I think Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Austin.

Then we have this hideous edition of a gorgeous work, which is Prometheus Unbound by Percy Bashelli. this is a play. Wow. The lines in here. The lines in here and like the government of it all. Damn.

We have Resurrection, which is my least favorite tool story.

This is one of the greatest things I own. This is Season of Migration to the North. Look at this.

Sonnetss from the Portuguese and Other Poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This looks like my grandma's couch, but I have read this. These are the Dober thrift editions. Yeah, I have read these and I really do like them.

This is one of my favorite classics I've read so far this year and probably literally ever. It is James Joyce Li of the Artist as a Young Man. I just love this so much.

Anyway, I have read this. This was my first Kate, I think, and I really enjoyed it. This is perfect. This is a perfect summer book.

Have the vague beautiful my favorite dosi so far. You have the brothers carv. I Oh my god, I really want to read this again.

Peter in the Ry by JD Salinger. I read this just like a couple years ago. Wow. Wow. Like seriously. Wow.

Another fave is The Haunting of Hill House. Highly recommend this book.

I really like this book. This is by HG Wells. This is my favorite HG Wells that I've read. He's not like a fave author, but I do really like the mad scientist vibes in that one.

I love this. I read this last year. One of my favorite books of the year.

I have The Legend of the Sleepers, which I've also read. I didn't have large thoughts about this, so this was just okay.

Letters of Oscar Wild. This is both funny and painful.

12th Night is not a fave of mine. neither is the Merchant of Venice.

I've also read this one. This is not And this is not a favorite.

I used to have like a massive Phantom of the Opera collection on my shelf because this is one of my favorite books of all time. I just love this thing to bits and pieces.

This was like just a very interesting time. This is highly serialized and man does this man like to write words.

Because the posterous memoirs which I showed before that was so good and I would have liked to spend like I can't read it again for the first time but I can read it again but I just want to spend so much more time with it I think.

So, I have The Broken Wings, The Prophet, and then all of these, which are various little collections of like his thoughts and meditations, a self-portrait. Yeah. So, I haven't read any of these, but I've read both of these really like.

This book was like the bane of my existence for my American for the American life course. I took the Scarlet Letter. I just I don't know why I struggled so hard. I really don't know why. I just really did not like this.

I read this last year as well. really enjoy this. This is a piece of non-fiction and his journey up to the Himalayas and it's just really interesting.

Then we have one of my favorite one of my favorite classics. It's The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. I was just I remember reading Turn of the Screw so vividly. It was such a good time.

Some more ice with the ice palace by Tesos. This is so good. So good.

I just read my first Thomas Man this year, which was The Magic Mountain. Oh, wait. Why aren't you guys together? Loved Magic Mountain.

Things Fall Apart by Tinua Chbe. So good.

12th Night is not a fave of mine.

War in Peace is probably like I think that's my personal favorite Toltoy.

Another fave is We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Which one do I like more? I still feel like I like The Haunting of Hill House more.

I had to read this for university. fantastic novelist. This one is like a reimagining of The Mad Woman in the Attic from Janeire if that's appealing to you.

Weathering Heights by Emily Bronte. Love, love.
