5 Favorite Classics of All Time 

i love it when people talk about classics ❤️

My five favs are; The Pilgrim's Progress, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Gulliver's Travels, Robinson Crusoe, and A Christmas Carol.

The Count of Monte Cristo is absolutely amazing and it is within my top favorites as well! I'm surprised I don't see as many people talking about it. Also I have David Copperfield on my shelf currently and I am tempted to read it very soon.

Hi, Kailey. Luke here. I just stumbled across this video from 2 years ago and had to share. My favorite classics, in no particular order would be: The Complete Sherlock Holmes The Moonstone The Count of Monte Cristo The Time Machine Huckleberry Finn As always, thanks for sharing!

The Count is also my favorite of all times. I've read in french, something very challenging to me. I don't know why is it so underrated. In my top list are Macbeth and Les Misérables as well. As a brazilian, I would recommend The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas as great classic book. My list: C. of Monte Cristo. Les Miserables Macbeth The Trial - Franz Kafka The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas - Machado de Assis

Oh... Jane eyre! I want to reread it now..

Love seeing your fave reads, Kailey! So many i still need to get into 💛✨

We share two favorites! Jane Eyre and the Count of Monte Cristo!! 💜

The Water Babies, Bleak House, To the Lighthouse, The Mill on the Floss, Wives and Daughters, Persuasion, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall,

Loved this video, and was just going to type my question about Bleak House when you mentioned it at the end. Interesting that Pride and Prejudice didn't make your cut.

Mr. Micawber is really the author's father, John Dickens.

My favorite play is Cyrano De Bergerac by Rostand. A couple of my favorite classic books are Persuasion by Austen, Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby by Dickens and He Knew He Was Right by Trollope. But it is so hard to choose just a few favorites and you're right the list does change over the years.

I can’t rank mine. Let’s just say, tied for first place are... Lord of the Rings Our Mutual Friend Woman in White Watership Down Pride and Prejudice Close contenders: Persuasion, Wives and Daughters, Jane Eyre, Puddinhead Wilson, War & Peace, To Kill a Mockingbird, Little Dorrit, and Seven Story Mountain

I love Crime and Punishment. Pride and Prejudice was good, too. Hamlet is my favourite Shakespeare play. The Scarlet Letter has my fav character of all time, the little girl Pearl, who’s a bright charismatic light in so much darkness. The Red Badge of Courage was quite interesting, and The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is the most complex 100 pages I ever read.

I love David Copperfield too (hard to choose my favorite of Dickens as I like Oliver Twist, Bleak House, and Great Expectations too). Shakespeare's As You Like It, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest are among my most loved plays, and The Tempest may be my most favorite (again, it's hard to choose.). :)

This is such a great video! I haven't read many classics (other than for school) and I've been afraid to start. I loved the TV miniseries of North and South so maybe I'll begin with that! Have you ever done a video on which TV or movie adaptations from classics are the best? Would that even be a booktube video then? Lol

I love much ado about nothing! It's so charming and just really funny. Only Shakespeare play I read and laughed out loud

Nice channel and great video; your enthusiasm suits you well for this. I like your choices, too, and like you, I had to add and subtract quite a few near-hits before arriving at "the five". To qualify I decided I had to have read the book at least twice, or how could it be a true favorite? I always mention two books that I loved but can't imagine re-reading them: "Moby Dick" and "Cold Mountain". There are other one-timers I could mention, but enough. The list is as shown because they represent my beginning love for literature or a particularly happy time in my life. Some I have read three or four times. Great Expectations: Dickens The Professor’s House: Cather Far From the Madding Crowd: Hardy The Grapes of Wrath: Steinbeck The Sun Also Rises: Hemmingway

I LOVE Jane Eyre and North and South

In no particular order: Anna Karenina, Ulysses, Jude the Obscure*, Jane Eyre, Don Quixote .... The count of Monte Cristo .... talk about tough language of the classics per your earlier video ... but more than worth the pain of the language 🙏

I was happy to see The Count of Monte Cristo on your list, at the top, no less. It is in my Top-5 all-time too. I also loved Jane Eyre, which is certainly in my Top-10, at least. I am American, and my all-time favorite book is Lonesome Dove. Not sure about the three remaining spots.

We share the same #1 classic 😊

Love North and South 😍 and Jane Eyre 😍 but i agree about Mr. Rochester

Ugh I so agree about Mr. Rochester! I couldn't finish Jane Eyre and he was the reason... Ahh I love Much Ado About Nothing! Oooh I don't know my full list but I KNOW The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett would be #1. And I think The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux would be in the top 5 as well!

Great choices. I'd put Bleak House as my number one, but Copperfield's great, too. And The Count of Monte Christo is fantastic. Think of it as a mini-series. LOL

I also love much ado 😊

I am glad someone else enjoys the Bleakhouse. I get boo a lot for saying it. :) Do you know of any good biographies on Dickens? Great Expectations is still my fav out of his works......Sorry for asking on an older video just stumbled onto it tonight.

#1 Man Without Qualities by Robert Musil #2 Goethe's Faust but only the Walter Arndt translation (Norton) #3 Against the Day--Pynchon #4 Middlemarch #5 Mason and Dixon--Pynchon #6 Brothers K

1. Jane Eyre 2. Pride and Prejudice 3. Little Dorrit 4. Hamlet/Romeo and Juliet/The Phoenix and the Turtle 😁 P.S. John Thornton from North and South is my dream man 😍lol

try watching the 2020 emma adaptation. johnny flynn’s take on mr. knightley made me swoon and his chemistry with anya taylor-joy (playing emma) was amazing!

One of my reading goals for 2019 is to read my first Dickens (well, besides A Christmas Carol as I’ve read it twice). Which Dickens do you think a classics newbie should read first?

Les Miserables, The Count of Monte Cristo, Moby Dick, Bleak House, The Lord of the Rings.

funny... I love Mr. Rochester and don't like Jane much at all.

Thanks for the spoiler warning.
