Currently listening through Little Women since the movie just released. It's been a while since I've read any of it and its such a powerful novel that I think everyone should give a read, especially if you enjoy classic literature.my dad gave me all of his wheel of time books when he moved out of state.. i have really been meaning to read them but seeing the whole series, which takes up a shelf by itself, is a little intimidating. i like fantasy but.. how does your recommendation go beyond "if you like fantasy" - what do you like about them specifically? my dad just told me the "magic system is really good" but thats.. not enough to get me to read a whole bookshelf's worth of pages haha i wanna know what makes the story good. any insight you have would be appreciated, as you're not a 60 year old man
I put my Wheel of Time audiobook series on hold for it, also highly recommended if you like tropey fantasy. I think it's beautifully written and the audio book series on Audible is really well done.
I think i started an animorphs book when I was in elementary school, but I was already too into the Harry Potter series at the time lol. It's on my radar because I've heard it's got a surprisingly deep plot, I might need to check it out.yes the lore runs deeper than expected with animorphs haha, it's ultimately an alien war story, and has lots of heavy themes surrounding the cost of war as a result. i highly recommend them, and they're all very short so theyre super easy to tear through :)
Hmm I'm not reading these currently, but I really liked The Catcher In The Rye. It's a pretty good classic. The plot is where Holden Caulfield, a very angsty teen who is failing school and got kicked out of his school, struggles with his mentality and leaves his home so his parents don't find out that he got kicked out of school for failing. I kinda don't remember too much but once you get into it, it becomes really interesting. There are a few profanites ad such in the book too, but it's good.catcher in the rye is an excellent coming of age story, as it deals a lot with the loss of youthful innocence & nostalgia you feel for a simpler time when you were a young baby. i think that it's themes and sentiments can be really impactful today especially as society forces kids to grow up faster and faster..
I've also heard that The Outsiders is good, but then again I never read that one so idk much about it.
