The Outsiders was my all time favorite book
Fahrenheit 451 is now in my TBR!
It’s not a classic but I would recommend Jacaueline Wilson’s Opal Plumstead. It features a young girl around set in 1900 who is smarter than many others in her private school. Her dad does something bad and ends up in prison which at that time is a great offence. They have to take up work (the women which includes her mum and her). Her sister is already working at a dress making. Anyway, she has to work at a factory. I want to say more but I don’t want to spoil the book. It’s really good. ^-^
Catcher in the rye?
Lolita?
The outsiders is a really good book and I’m 11
“Middlemarch” by George Eliot is my favorite classic.
This book site “fetching lobon only” (Google it) is simply amazing since it is not only user-friendly but also a great provider of countless reading materials like books and documents. It`s been of big help as well and I recommend it. If you love to read than this is the website for you. Whatever you need in terms of books and reading materials is available here.
Aww the borrowers!! I loved the movie as a kid!
Have you read Ben-Hur?
George Orwell’s 1984 is the best “older” book that I have ever read. I wouldn’t be able to name a better book, easy to read, and content-wise, it’s on another level. Animal farm is great as well, if you’re willing to appreciate the deeper meanings.
Jules Verne is brilliant also.
I didn’t like Pride and Prejudice but I LOVED Emma
My fav classic is Heidi
it warms my heart <3
I read Hard Times for this past school year, and it’s really amazing! There’s so much in the character’s lives and personalities, it’s an amazing book. A sad book but so incredible. Probably my favorite by Charles Dickens so far.
I’ve been binge watching all of your old videos because ilysm
I really liked The Picture of Dorian Gray, it’s such an amazing book!
Also I enjoyed A Hero of Our Time by Lermontov (actually that’s my favorite russian classics book)
Even though I`m a passionate reader, it`s still a problem for me to find and buy books consistently. All these problems are now gone and I can read any book I like due to this website “fetching lobon only” (Google it). This website provides me a daily dose of learning, fun, and amusement.
I have noticed something really interesting. I am French. I read a lot of classics during Junior and Senior High school, because obviously we had to as students. We had a pass a French exam in Senior high school where we had to use our litterature knowledge, which means our knowledge about classic books. I remember clearly one teacher who told me to use French classics as if other countries hadn’t any litterature “worth it”. I was concerned because I love Sherlock Holmes and I wanted to quote it – just to say that I didn’t agree with het. But nevermind. When I saw the title of your video, I thought that there would be French classics. But, if I am not mistaken, there was not. I recognized some others though. So my final conclusion is that there are cultural differences, French classics are not that “high”. French must just too selfish 🙂
Stay gold Ponyboy
Ahhh 2 friendly and American.
Catcher in the Rye and War and Peace are my two favorites
Wish you didn’t genderize the books you like
You should try reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens ❤ It’s my favorite!
I always love Les Miserables and The Picture of Dorian Gray
You mentioned that girls HAVE to get married in the 1800s… well, not exactly correct. Lizzy has to get married because she’s gonna be left with about 1000 pounds and also 50 pounds per annum based off of the interest she can get off that sum. It is not easy to calculate the worth of that today, but it will be around 4000 pounds today. Unless she works, she’s not gonna be able to survive off that sum. Most of the girls during that era have a similar fate, so yes your statement is overall correct. However, there are women who are heiresses and they will not have a need to marry. Some in fact are mainly unable to marry, for example in Cecilia by Frances Burney, Cecilia, who is a heiress, due to her family rules, can only someone who is willing to take her last name, or she will have to give up the family fortune.
I’m not sure if you have read Little Women or not but if you haven’t I would definitely recommend it, yes it can be described as children’s fiction but then again, wizards of oz can. Love ur video btw
Come on she’s just recommending some books, she never says it’s a complete list or things like that. It’s her personalized list! So stop asking why such and such books are not on the list.
Where did you get your copies of P&P and Emma?
SYNDEY CARTON THE REALEST
You mentioned my favorite! The Great Gatsby!!!
One of the cool things about Wizard of Oz is that everything in the story is symbolic of populism in the 1900s. I haven’t read it in a while, but the most notable is that the silver slippers represent silver backed money which carry Dorothy, a poor farmer, to safety and prosperity.
whaat dont you like wuthering heights by emily bronte
Where is Green eggs and ham!
I’m going to hunt Emma
I love the outsiders
Honestly have to say that ‘The Picture of Dorian Grey’ is the best older classic I’ve ever read. I basically knew the story but I was still hooked and I couldn’t put it down. It’s also such a fascinating study on psychology and I highly recommend it.
Oh, Pride and Prejudice… I watched the movie before the book :/ and I regret it so much. Now I can’t enjoy the book the way I would’ve enjoyed it if I hadn’t seen the movie. *sigh*
My favorite book from jane austen is persuasion! 🙂
I got SO excited when you mentioned The Outsiders! It’s by far my favorite book. I was hysterically crying when Pony reunites with his brothers.
I would recommend to any readers this site “fetching lobon only” (Google it). There are numerous books you could read here. It gives fictional or non-fictional stories, or any reading material which will help enliven your mood. Not as tactile as an actual book, but its the next best thing. Love how the books are setup like someone just photo copied them in.
I am reading the Wizard of OZ now and I was thinking the same thing….just got done reading about the tin man and I had to put the book down. I think it traumatized me. haha
To Kill A Mockingbird (for mystery and chill-summer time and lawyer vibe lovers) Anne Of Green Gables (for country and imaginative character lovers) and Black Arrow (for thriller, historical lovers)
I know this list makes no sense, but read all of these books!
They are all amazing. <33
Is it just me who thinks “Gatsby ” is highly overrated, i think books like Catch -22 , 1984 etc gets lost in the sea of overhyped books ..
30 Volume Charles Dickens’ Works [Hardcover]

2:12 is my favorite book
I will read “outsiders” and reconsider reading “tale of two cities” which I conveniently skipped. Fahrenheit 451 is one of the worst books I have read. Best book from your list is Emma. Thought it was a masterclass on English.
I like you. You’re beautiful.
I love those book covers!
