There are many fantastic pieces of literature, and unfortunately I cannot read them all at the same time. But naturally there are some that are higher on my TBR (to-be-read) than others. Here I'll present you with a list of 10 classic novels that I really want to get to soon.
1. Animal Farm - George Orwell
George Orwell wrote two famous novels: 1984 and Animal Farm. I've heard many great things about Animal Farm and I'm excited to get to this soon.
2. The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
The Handmaid's Tale was turned into TV series recently and I really, really want to watch it. But I have to read the book first naturally.
3. Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
Frankenstein is really popular and I just want to see what the hype is about. We all know about Frankenstein, but I don't really know anything about the actual story.
4. The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
This is like one of the only gay Victorian novels, so yeah, can't wait.
5. The Jungle Books - Rudyard Kipling
I have this beautiful copy of the two Jungle Book novels combined and I still have not read it. I need to right now. But where's the time?
6. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë
I'm actually getting to this really soon! I'm participating in a Brontë book club, in which we read six Brontë novels in 2018.
7. A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare has a lot of mentions of this book and it has made me excited to read it. Even though Dickens and I haven't really clicked before.
8. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson
This is another story that I know, but don't really know. I'm curious to how it actually goes.
9. Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen
I basically want to read all the Austen novels and I heard that this is a good one to start with.
10. Jabberwocky - Lewis Carroll
Carroll is a magician. I love Alice and am so excited to read this collection of poetry!!
