New to classics.

[Vishwajeet]

Hello everyone.
I recently finished "The picture of dorian gray", moved by Wilde's witticism I want to give some more classics a try .It would be really nice if you recommend me some classics(for beginner).
Thanks

I always say that Mark Twain is easy and fun for a beginner, but if you liked Wilde you should try his "The Importance of Being Ernest." It's a play, so it's a little different to read, but it's very clever. It's one of my favorites!

[Vishwajeet]

Ordered Important of being earnest with Animar Farm. Excited.

[Emily]

I love Animal Farm. If you like it you should try 1984.

[Melaslithos]

If your not afraid of big books, The Three Musketeers is always a fun read.

1984, Animal Farm and the Importance of Being Earnest are all very good choices, I love these books.

If you liked the Picture of Dorian Gray, you might also like Edgar Allan Poe's short stories.

[Vishwajeet]

Thanks..
I moved them to my "to-read" list I will be now busy for atleast a month.

The Count of Monte Cristo is fantastic. (actually, pretty much anything by Alexander Dumas is excellent if you like adventure). If you love mysteries, who-done-it, then check out Agatha Christie, or The Moonstone The Complete Sherlock Holmes

[Vishwajeet]

Thanks viktoria. I added it in my to read list.

[Vishwajeet]

Some more recommendation please. I liked To kill a Mockingbird,Animal farm ,oliver twist and The book thief

[Hilary]

Dickens's 'David Copperfield', Thomas Hardy's 'Jude The Obscure' and Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'

[Ruth]

Can't go wrong with Mark Twain. Dicken's David Copperfield is a favorite of mine. If you like Science Fiction I would recommend The Foundation Trilogy by Asimov, Childhood's End by Clarke and anything by Ray Bradbury. I would also recommend anything by Kurt Vonnegut.

[Emily]

Since you liked The Picture of Dorian Gray you should try The Phantom of the Opera. Also, I would recommend Brave New World, since you liked Animal Farm.

[Amyra]

Ruth is right you can try any of Kurt Vonnegut's books and you won't regret it. I would recommend Lord of the Flies by William Golding too.

[Vishwajeet]

Thanks. That really helped me :)

[John]

I suggest that you read The Grapes of Wrath (1939) by John Steinbeck. I liked this novel so much that I then read six more books by Steinbeck.

[Urian]

If you like adventure books I would strongly recommend Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.

[John]

Yes, Treasure Island would be a great choice.
