i'm not sure if you consider more recent classics but as a lit major here are some of my faves that could be considered classics: wuthering heights, pride and prejudice, song of solomon, the crying of lot 49, slaughterhouse five, 1984, hamlet, macbeth, and it's not a novel but the collected short stories of ernest hemingway... many of them are bangers. i'm not a hemingway novel fan but his short stories are often so good

My #1 was One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Also loved The Bell Jar, Hamlet (though I never would‘ve understood it by myself) and Slaughterhouse Five.

I’m so lucky I didn't have to read this until college because there’s no way I would have appreciated it as a high schooler.
I will also always go to bat for Macbeth (specifically for Lady Macbeth) and Hamlet (for depression).

i am trying to be better about just letting myself exist without masking but i've been masking so much my whole life that i kind of don't even know who i am if i'm not masking. but i try to stay chill about it and just know that i am who i am and I AM like idk... i recently started dancing when i'm alone in a way that is kind of more like stimming but i just move my body how it wants to move and that is something that a few years ago i never would have allowed myself to do. it's a process i guess to become more comfortable with just existing as you are. david byrne inspired me a lot to just let myself be myself and not worry too much about the autism bc ppl are either gonna get you or theyre not

literally love it so much and i'm always so happy when i leave there. the america windows are literally the most beautiful sight in real life like it will take your breath away. i had a cameron from ferris bueller's day off moment standing there staring at the america windows with tears in my eyes. and that movie was actually filmed at the art institute! so much to see i love the miniature rooms
