My Classics Book Collection

Hello again, you lovely beings on the Internet! Today I thought I'd give you a quick glimpse of the Classics I have on my bookshelf. Unfortunately this is not a very accurate representation- I have borrowed Classics from the library or from school, or read them for free on my Kindle! These books here are the ones I have been gifted, bought, studied at school or haven't read yet! Seriously, though, if you have a Kindle, a lot of these Classics are 100% free! Hopefully this should encourage more people to read them, because they all are very excellent stories :D

When I really want something entirely gripping and enticing to read, I pick up a Classic. There is not a single modern book I can think of that gives me the kind of excitement and powerful emotion that reading a Classic gives me. The fact that they were written a very long time ago, by amazing people who have left their mark on the modern literary world, and who have shaped the way books are today. Especially when I read a Brontë (my favourite authors!), the fact that they sometimes talk about ideas not even discussed in their time (especially women's rights) astounds me. If you want a book where you are taken on a journey so far from the modern world we live in- pick up any of these books- they are some of my favourites on my bookshelf!

Here are the books! By the way, they are not organised in any kind of order, just randomly!
