I'll be joining too!

Hi! I want to read a classic in english but it isn't my first language, would you recommend some classics with simple/common language? like in opposition to sheaksperean english.

I will recommend two things!

My favorite poem book of all time, "enough rope" by Dorothy Parker is a collection of both funny and meaningful poems about falling in and out of love, not conforming to society's standards and just living as a woman the first half of the XX century. If you wanna read some poetry would totally recomend it!

"One hundred years of solitude" is a latinoamerican modern (1960's) classic about a family and the town they created, it is magical realism so really absurd things happen and everybody takes it as a minor bother, if not just normal, like priests flying or people not sleeping for weeks. The only thing! read it with a family tree in hand, because the relationships get a little complicated

Hello everyone! I'm Rosario, I'm 18 and I'm from Chile! I want to read 12 classics this year, and I'm very exited about it. My favorite classics are 1984, House of Spirits by Isabel Allende, 100 years of solitude by Gabriel García Marquez and Enough Rope by Dorothy Parker. I'm looking forward to reading with all of you!
