Let’s be honest. Some classics are… well… let’s just say, not that engaging. They may be well written for their time frame, but sometimes they are not that interesting for the modern reader.
To remedy this situation, here is a list of my ten favorite literature classics that are both well-crafted and still fun to read.
In no particular order:
The Stranger, by Albert Camus
A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeline L'Engle
Franny and Zooey, by J.D. Salinger
The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson
Animal Farm, by George Orwell
Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
The Catcher in the Rye, by J. D. Salinger
The Red Badge of Courage, by Stephen Crane
If you are looking for a classic to read that will keep you engaged from beginning to end, give one of these a try. You’ll be glad you did!
