Which books do you think will become future classics? Did you agree with my list? Let me know down below and we'll talk future classics some more!

I haven’t read every one of these books, but I’ve read most. This list is exquisite. I have no notes 😊 I really need to get on As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow 🍋

@cafeaulivre 3 месяца назад

You do, it’s such a gripping book 🍋

@starlasell5698 3 месяца назад

The Secret History, The Book Thief, and Life of Pi were excellent reads! I really like The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, my first read by this author.

@cafeaulivre 3 месяца назад

Excellent book indeed, quite the big one as well

I just finished the audiobook of Life of Pi today. I picked it after I watched this video a few weeks ago. It was wonderfully narrated by Jeff Woodman and Alexander Marshall. I loved it. I was in my car on my way home from work and shed some tears with the last line of the book. So beautiful. Thanks for the recommendation. Also, I forgot to like the video when I watched it, so I'm doing that now 😁.

Never did it as an audiobook, so maybe if I do a reread I’ll try it with this version 😊

A Little Life was pretty brutal. Loads of suffering galore. The Secret History warrants a reread. I remember the sensation of enjoyment when I read Disgrace, but I forgot the plot and its tenets. I agree Wind Up Bird Chronicle is Murakami’s best. I also enjoyed Norwegian Wood. I have yet to read The Life of Pi. I’ve never heard of open water. Nor the last two you mentioned. My future Classics are The Bee Sting by Paul Murray…Prophet Song by Paul Lynch … Stoner by John Williams … The Known World by Edward P Jones … Baby Killer by Frank Cassese …Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders… Glad I found your channel. Thanks ! 😊

Prophet Song is staring at me right now from the list of books still to read, might start it any day now, so good to hear it’s worth the read 😃

@Christalesty 3 месяца назад

I’ve been wanting to read the wind up bird chronicles for a long time now! I think The Song of Achilles will be a classic as well, if it isn’t already.

The book thief is so well written like from the first chapter you know about the death , and it still keeps you engaged.

@cafeaulivre 4 месяца назад

It is a truly captivating story, I love it 🥰

Before I read The Book Thief I read his book Bridge of Clay which affected me way more loved it.

Good rec, cause I havn’t read that one myself yet!

@stevenpace1849 4 месяца назад

Very impressive list. I've read the entire list except for the non fiction selection and As Long As the Lemon Tree Grows. I'll read them this summer. When I read A Little Life right after it first came out, I knew I was reading something very special. I feel the same way about John Boyne's novel The Heart's Invisible Furies. I so enjoy your posts. Such enthusiasm! Wish I had you as a student when I was at university.

@cafeaulivre 4 месяца назад

I also knew A Little Life was something special, only 50 pages in or so. Such a powerful book!

@GladysHunnam 3 месяца назад

I've read two books from your list: The book thief and Disgrace. The later I read it maaany years ago and sometimes I still think about the ending. Also I added Open water to my tbr. I completely agree with you, future classics should include much more nationalities and not just be centered around US/European/Russian titles. Huck Finn is a young adult book and now it's considered a classic so I don't see why there wouldn't be more YA titles in the future :)

@cafeaulivre 3 месяца назад

The Little Prince, the Hobbit, the Secret Garden… , there are many classics we would call YA today that are absolutely worth the read 😊

@GladysHunnam 3 месяца назад

@@cafeaulivre yes, exactly! I said Huck Finn because it was the only title that sprung to my mind last night (it was late haha). Absolutely love The hobbit and The secret garden!

@monicai.3034 3 месяца назад

Wow, great list! This year I hope to finally read The Secret History. 🙈 I think Khaled Hosseini deserves a place indeed. I've read from Coetzee only one book, Age of Iron, a very powerful one. Amazing writer!

@cafeaulivre 3 месяца назад

The only reason why I didn’t include The Kite Runner is it felt more of a redemption arc than a book about the conflict to me, but he certainly is worthy of becoming a classic
