Some of my favorites are:
Little Women
Flowers for Algernon
Of Mice and Men
Pride and Prejudice
The Bell Jar

I’d recommend The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald—it’s a must-read for understanding the Jazz Age. Also, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee offers a deep dive into justice and morality. Moby-Dick by Herman Melville is a bit dense but full of layered themes. What do you think?

I’ve read TKAMB! I may check out Moby Dick but I can’t get into maritime books 🤣. The great gatsby is def on my tbr!!

Sounds like a solid plan! Gatsby is a must-read, and I totally get the struggle with maritime books—Moby Dick is a commitment! Maybe it’ll surprise you, though.

To Kill a Mockingbird is elite if you never had to read that one

I’ve read that one!! I was overly obsessed with it for too long in middle school lmao. Atticus is still on my name list to use as a middle name for my future kid 🤣
