I really enjoyed Jane Eyre. I found it to be an easy classic to get into!

I'd recommend the picture of Dorian gray, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and most greek tragedies
I liked Anne of Green Gables, but if it's too long, I recommend The Light Princess. A Little Princess is something better if you don't want something too short and fairytale-like.
the catcher in the rye, fahrenheit 541, to kill a mockingbird, the outsiders
all my sons, a view from the bridge, the glass menagerie, the stranger
the old man and the sea is one of my favorites.
Of Mice and Men is a short one you might like. To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are also some of my favorites.
Pride an prejudice is one of my favourite books
Moby Dick. A great classic read.
Pick a story that sounds like something you’d read whether it was a classic or not, then start to read. If you’re confused or not in love right away, luckily for us we have a million resources now, so I recommended watching a tv or film adaption, or googling some summaries to help you along the way. So many people want to shame others for “cheating” when it comes to classics by googling summaries or watching the movie but it isn’t the same as fully understanding the book, it’s just one persons take on it when your take could be completely different so I say use them! Then once you’re done, the next time you go to pick it up and you have a better idea for the story and the writing, it will be a completely different experience. Then you may be able to dive into more classics without using other resources!! That being said, PRIDE & PREJUDICE
