I love The Age Of Innocence so much. Edith Wharton is my comfort author. Her prose and characters just always clicked with me.

I’ve really enjoyed listening to your view of these books, and your honesty. More please!

So happy to see you rated Les Miserables by Victor Hugo in your top five. It is a masterpiece! Also I really enjoyed Agnes Grey…….very genuine piece of literature. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these books.

Most of these were already on my to-read list and you've persuaded me to read them even more! I think we have similar tastes so I've subscribed 😊

i love wuthering heights so much, im waiting til january to re-read it cause then its been two years and im excited. tenant of wildfell hall is amazing, i think anne bronte deserves way more hype. agnes grey is really good too, i wish anne had more time to write more books.

Yes to the Gabriel Oak love! 😂 And yes to The Tenant of Wildfell Hall being ahead of its time! I honestly don't know why it isn't talked about more these days. And yes to the awesomeness of The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and Tess of the D'Urbervilles!! I love Agnes Grey, too, but I haven't read it in so long that I don't remember it very well. My feelings about Little Women have become complicated since I re-read it recently, but I've loved it since I was a kid. This is a great top 10!

Hi I so enjoyed your thoughtful list. I also think Little Women is my favorite book of all time, although I read it as a child. I also loved those Thomas Hardy books, and I really didn’t think Tess was as bad as some say, in that she and Angel had a sort of honeymoon time, before the end. I did think it was awful that she had to suffer for years. And yes it was not her fault. Her parents were so feckless. And I have Les Miserables on my bookshelf and have wanted to read it for years. So while I am reading Little Dorrit now, and Vanity Fair, you give me courage to tackle it. Thank you. 😊

I feel like you would like Madam Bovary if you like these, from what I have heard of it. I think we have similar taste so I wanna read all these you like

a lot of my favourites are here too! :) what have you read for Charlotte Bronte ?

I avoid "Agnes Grey" because of animal cruelty; same goes for "Moby Dick" . as for "Wuthering Heights" : sorry, all the characters are detestable and there is so much abuse and invest that it is True my off-putting. Read in my teens and recently with stronger dislikes now ! As for Thomas Hardy: never liked FftMC and also disliked TotD'U ! Loved "Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins. I am an avid reader and 90% are Victorian writers. Kind regards from GB.
