You hit a lot of my favorites on the list. Sense and Sensibility, Little Women, and Jane Eyre especially!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad!! I love all three of those books so much :)
DeleteFantastic TTT post. I always find classics hard to get back into and reread. Little Women & Odyssey are two of my all time favourites.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes find it difficult as well... I think that I have to be in the mood and it has to be the right classic, for sure. Those are probably my top two as well!
DeleteOooh I love your topic! I need to read more classics but I just get caught up in all of the new fiction being released (especially when it's all people talk about!) The only thing I've read on this list is the Sherlock Holmes books, but I have a copy of Jane Eyre that I also really need to read. Great list :)
ReplyDeleteI totally get what you mean, Helia! I guess being a literature student helps by sort of forcing me to read classics haha... Jane Eyre is actually pretty accessible if you just take the time to read it, since its pretty long! thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI keep meaning to read a classic, the last classics I read were back in high school, and those I was forced to read. I might start with some Sherlock for the first classic I read on my own.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Pages to Explore
I think Sherlock Holmes would be an awesome place to start, because they're short and engaging, especially with the mystery aspect! :)
DeleteIt's hard for me to put classics on my TBR. Mostly because I was forced to read them in HS and college and it just turned me off... also, even the ones I did end up liking/loving took me a LONG time to get into. I don't think I have the patience to stick it out with books that are hard to figure out. Little Women I read as a younger teen and really did like it... except Amy, cause BLAH!!!
ReplyDeleteI feel you on that! I definitely think the whole being-forced-to-read in HS can turn people way off reading, classics especially! Amy is definitely the worst though haha!
DeleteYou know I have never read any of these books though I do hope to aim to read at least one classic in 2016 maybe I shall pick up one of these titles!
ReplyDeleteyou definitely should! some of these aren't even that long and are super fun to read, so I would recommend something like Sherlock Holmes or Their Eyes Were Watching God!
DeleteLove all of these books and especially ♥ the covers you found!!
ReplyDeletethanks Eva! I love classics a lot because you can always find pretty covers for them haha!
DeleteLove Little Women! I plan to reread it this year! I'm also a big fan of Sherlock Holmes and Crime and Punishment!
ReplyDeleteI am always in the mood to reread little women :) thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a great list! I'm always up for some Austen. Great list this week!
ReplyDeletei know! jane austen is just the best at social dramas... can't get enough truly. :)
DeleteI've never read most of these!! I really guess I should try some Jane Austen... Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
you definitely definitely should try austen! i guess I like to think that there's a reason she's still so popular, and that's because her books are awesome :)
DeleteI love your topic choice! I haven't read many classics but I am determined to read some this year, so this list has definitely given me a few ideas for which to choose!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I think that everyone can find a classic that is right for them, so I wish you luck and am glad to have given some suggestions :)
DeleteI LOVE ALL OF THESE CLASSICS! I usually need to be in a particular mood to read one, and next time I am, I'll be sure to check this out!
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome day:)

Yay me too! I definitely agree that I have to be in the mood... like a rainy, cold day is when I usually want to curl up with some tea and Jane Eyre :) thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI haven't read any of these yet and I definitely need to read more Classics. I do own Hardy and Conan Doyle though so hopefully I can read them soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me.
