Here’s my list of Austen novels, from favourite to least favourite:
1. Persuasion- My favourite Austen! It is the shortest and the one with the most enduring romance plot. And it is also the one where she attacks society with the most vigour. Not a word is wasted: it is compact and moves quickly....
The Complete Poems and Plays, 1909-1950
John Milton, too - intensely flawed, tormented but Christian to the end. Try his Samson Agonistes for starters! Cause even if a guy loses on Social Media, he wins eternally. Graham Greene’s another - A Burnt-Out Case! Same idea. Loser takes all!.
The Complete Stories and Poems
| Author | Lewis Carroll |
| ISBN | 0517220776 |
This commemorative oversized volume of the complete collection of stories and poems of Lewis Carol showcases his ingenious use of word play, inverted logic and satire.

| Author | Charlotte Brontë |
| ISBN | 0517147793 |
I stuck to Wuthering Heights this time. I was due for a re-read of it, and I recalled absolutely loving it as a teen, reading it over and over. Such deep tragedy - and perhaps now that I've experienced so much of my own at this point, I found that it was more disturbing this time around than romantic, more sad...

In 1897, Archibald Constable & Company published Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the most famous horror novel of all time. For reasons still debated by scholars, the first chapter of Dracula was cut from the book just weeks before publication. Here, it becomes the central clue in a spine-tingling original...
Speeches That Changed the World: The Stories and Transcripts of the Moments That Made History
| Author | Thomas Jefferson |
| ISBN | 1905204027 |
I think a more appropriate title of this book would be: "Speeches That Were Made During World-Changing Events (although some of the events included here were questionably world-changing - I'm looking at you St. Francis of Assisi's sermon to the birds)."
A lot of the speeches in this book were...
| Author | Ernest Hemingway |

| Author | E.M. Forster |
| ISBN | 0517091267 |
All three of these books are wonderful, beautiful books and having them in one edition definitely makes it easy to read and re-read them. ANGELS is actually my favorite Forster novel for some reason- probably because I just love the character of Philip and the scenes between him and Caroline are amongst...
The Republic and Other Works

"The Republic" and "The Symposium" are accompanied with the four dialogues dealing with the period of Socrates' trial and execution ("Euthyphro", "Apology", "Crito" and "Phaedo") making for a collection of what are probably Plato's most often read dialogues, and there's a reason for their popularity...
| Author | Ann Linnea |
| ISBN | 0671002821 |
This book was so bad on so many levels, that the only thing spiritual about it was the way in which self-flagellation would have been preferable to reading the entire thing. Now, what you are no doubt asking yourself right now is "if it was so bad, why did he finish the damn thing?"
Well, pull up a chair...

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde & Other Tales; Kidnapped; Treasure Island
| Author | Robert Louis Stevenson |
As a whole, this book is 3*, but since there are five stories I feel I should rate each one also...
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde was a fun read, and nice seeing where all the many, many adaptations found their basis. It wasn't at all what I was expecting, more thinking that it would...
