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

🪟It’s a short story collection by Joyce, so it’s already a classic. But I found it really poignant in its structure, and feel like it’s the type of thing everyone could find something in. Plus, it’s just a palatable way to read Joyce without picking up Ulysses sooooo

📖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).

⭐no more beating dead horses when it comes to movies, tv shows, etc. the movie doesn't need a sequel. the show doesn't need to go on for 27 seasons. we need more stories that are written with an ending in mind from the beginning.

☺️best thing you can do for yourself is become extremely comfortable with being alone and doing stuff by yourself. at a young age i forced myself to get comfortable with that and now it's my default state-- i LOVE doing stuff by myself. my coworker is a person who literally cannot go places by herself and i have been trying to help her get more comfortable doing things solo because it's very freeing. everyone should be happy to go do stuff by themselves, it's lovely!
