This refers to any of the well-known greats, books/plays/poems/texts you've studied in school etc.

I enjoyed:
The Great Gatsby
Bartleby the Scrivener
The Cask of Amontillado
Of Mice and Men

To a lesser extent:
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Othello
Young Goodman Brown

However, I didn't particularly enjoy Jane Eyre or much of Keats work.

No, I wouldn't.


The Grapes Of Wrath hasn't been mentioned yet. Also Farenheight 451 will also have a special place in my heart as I read it as a kid.

I'm not sure about the curious Incident. At my school we had to study books released after 1995 and most of them were highly regarded as great books, we did Enduring Love by McEwan (which is really very interesting in terms of narrative), and other classes did the Curious Incident and Kite Runner.

'20 thousand leagues under the sea' is one of my favorite books.

Great Gatsby was boring as fuck.

I liked Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies.

Other than that im not to familiar with classic English literature.

It makes more sense if you're American (decadent and conceited)

Poltergeist

I'm not American and I enjoyed and at the very least appreciated the Great Gatsby.
