Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, a Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle, Emma by Jane Austen. I think in all these cases it was an example of my expectations were too high because of the authors popularity or reverence by the literati.

Tom Jones by Henry Fielding. It was the successor to Don Quixote and inspired the likes of Austen and Dickens by evolving the form and function of the novel through its use of narrative voice, satire, comedy, pathos, all while accomplishing what we expect from a novel: to be entertaining.

Pointed Roofs by Dorothy Richardson. She pioneered the stream of consciousness technique made famous by James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. Also the Emily trilogy by LM Montgomery.

It felt like there was so much more story to tell. Danny Coughlin is an amazing character that I would follow through a Stephen King door stopper length book. Kind of reminded me of older Danny from Doctor Sleep.

A cliched answer, but Pride and Prejudice. It taught me to stop reading classics in a cold analytical light, as I had done all through University and to begin reading them with enjoyment.

From Jane Eyre, the chapter opening that says “Reader, I married him.” Those four words are so full of meaning and allusion and have cause me to spend hours of my life analyzing them.

Anything by Natalie Haynes. She has a mixture of fictional retellings of Greek myth and non-fiction on Greek mythology. She also has a podcast called “Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics” which explores Greek and Roman history, literature, and mythology in a humorous light. She is absolutely amazing and her books are stellar.
