Today I'll list 10 of my favorite classic books that are beginner friendly! Reading classic literature may look really intimidating, but worry not because on this list I'll recommend novels from thrillers to adventure and comedy that are interesting, fun, and easy to read.
Want to know which literary works made the list? Just watch my video!
There's a reason why some books pass the test of time and are considered "classics", but I know some books look heavy, long and anything but fun. This is why on this video I'm listing works that, despite written in the Victorian era (or even earlier than the 19th century!) are actually good, fun to read and are accessible to everyone.
If you've always heard names like Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Conan Doyle and wandered whether they're ACTUALLY good - here's your chance to get a glimpse!

Jerome K Jerome was a fantastic humorist, very funny but he could also be profound in some of his short stories. I think he's under-rated as a series commentator because of his amusing reputation.

One of my favourites that really doesn't get as much love as it ought to is Anthony Hope's The Prisoner of Zenda. I also enjoy Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel, Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Good Wives, anything by Jane Austen, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World and Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. More modern classics would include To Kill A Mocking Bird, Stephen King's The Stand and anything by Daphne du Maurier.

Dracula is an epistolary novel, and that turns a lot of people off since they go in expecting a narrative.

A decent list, the Wodehouse books are loads of fun if you like that sort of thing. I’ll have to check out Three Men in a Boat it escaped my radar somehow. I’m reminded of the first classics that I read as a boy, particularly memorable were The Call of the Wild, Robinson Crusoe, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Metamorphosis, Of Mice and Men, and Animal Farm. I re-read these within the past few years some 40+ years later and they all were as good or better than I remembered.

This is the first video on your channel that I have watched, but I already want to write a comment in support! Greetings from Ukraine, thank you for the interesting book review! Of course, I would like to offer Ukrainian classic books that are almost unknown in Europe. Example, "Clouds" by Ivan Nechuy-Levytskyi. This book was written in 1874, but it describes the issues that arise now, during the war against terrorist Russia. Even the words used by the book's characters one-to-one correspond to what Russian propagandists are saying now! Next, I would like to suggest books by Ivan Bagryany, namely: "Tiger hunters", "Garden of Gethsemane", "Man runs over the abyss" There - the truth about the 30s - 40s and 50s of the 20th century. From modern Ukrainian authors attention should be paid to the work of Serhiy Zhadan, for example, the book "Internat" and Oksana Zabuzhko, in particular, her essay "The Longest Journey", "Ukrainian Palimpsest" and others.
