New Classics
Over at The Indie Exchange, Terri Long et al are discussing New Classics.
Here is a list of classic reads that they have shared:
Ten Classic ReadsThe Drowning People – Richard MasonThe Bell Jar – Sylvia PlathNorwegian Wood – Haruki MurakamiWuthering Heights – Emily BronteMemoirs of a Geisha – Arthur GoldenWe Need to Talk About Kevin – Lionel ShriverAll But My Life – Gerda Weissman KleinI Am David – Ann Holm1984 – George OrwellWidow for One Year – John IrvingI have read six of the above, and I look forward to reading The Drowning People, We Need to Talk About Kevin, All But My Life, and I am David to the TBR list.
I'd replace Norwegian Wood with Kafka on the Beach myself, but of course these lists are very arbitrary. At the risk of repeating myself ad nauseum, I'd love to see the Indie book the Prospect of My Arrival and (sic) added as new classics.
What books are on your modern classics lists?
