Join in the Top Ten Tuesday fun! Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Classics I still haven't read:
2. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
9. Jane Eyre
10. Persuasion
I've read next to no classics, so my list would quite long. :)
ReplyDeleteTrue for me as well. These are all classics I felt everyone has read but me (also little interest to read in future).
DeleteThe majority of classics that I've read are due to school when we were forced to read them :(. I read Gone With the Wind a couple of years ago, and I regret spending the time reading it. It may have been because I've watched the movie so many times that the book didn't hold me.

You have a lot to look forward to, especially "A Christmas Carol". People might think they know the story because of movies, but Dickens' writing has its own merits. ("I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for.")
ReplyDeletefun idea for a topic! I enjoyed Les Mis, however, I will adnit that book takes a while to get through. Here is my post-https://paigesofnovels.com/2023/08/22/top-ten-tuesday-genre-freebie-romance-recs/.
ReplyDeleteI have read more classics in general in the last couple of years than I ever did before that, but none of the ones on this list. I recently read Pride and Prejudice for the first time and have Sense and Sensibility on my list. I seem to do better listening to audiobooks of classics than reading them though.

Oh Tom Sawyer- I remember really enjoying that as a kid. I should re- read.
ReplyDeleteGone With The Wind- such a classic cover.
I am not a huge classics reader either, although recently I have found a few that I enjoy. I have read a few of these.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy classics so I've read several of these! Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Jane Eyre, and A Christmas Carol are all wonderful. I also enjoyed Sense and Sensibility and Wuthering Heights. I read The Secret Garden as a child. I should make time to revisit it! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big classics reader, but I have actually read seven of these. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is one I re-read each December because I just love it so much. I hope you enjoy all these when you read them!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Beautiful list
ReplyDeleteI've read almost all of these! A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite classics.
ReplyDeleteI had to read Jane Eyre for school but I got bored halfway through and never finished-it didn't really matter because we moved English sets for GCSE fairly soon after! I'm not really a classics person, I think having to study them for English took any joy I might have found in reading them out-I think the only one I've ever really liked was Black Beauty, I got in trouble for reading that one under the desk at school when we were supposed to be studying Oliver Twist!
