It's been the same for years,I've read objectively better books since then, the cool ones that people like to claim they love to show how intellectual they are, and I actually liked most of them, but not as much as I love these books I'm always reading since I was a teenager.

That was my list.

>Brave New World
>Shit
I really enjoyed it. I hooked me very early on in the chapter where it keeps jumping between scenes, I'm notvsure why but that part really blew me away, it really built the world up it was like an opening song of a theatre. Huxley's main goal for the book was to get a message across but the way he directed the story there was really beautiful imo. I thought the characters were all very well written and fantastically get you into the mindset of the new age citizens, allowing you to see the story from multiple perspectives easily. I really do think it's underrated, not only because people usually put it below 1984, but becasue people even put it only in the same league as that. I think it does it's job as a rival for that book very well but I really do think it does more than that.

>The Picture of Dorian Grey
>Better but shit
Mostly for the characters and their interactions ofcourse. I didn't get the same overwhelming enjoyment out of any scene as I did BNW but I thought the quality held up throughout the book which makes it an enjoyable read the whole way through.

>Crime and Punishment
>Alright
Not sure how you couldn't love reading Raskolnikov's journey and Dosto's telling of what an otherwise good man might go through after murder.
The characters are great(Razumikhin is top tier), the story is great, the message is very well put, even if you disagree with it.

Instead of saying generic and boring stuff like "this character was great, I liked the message!", you might instead wanna get into the heart of the matter and say something of worth instead. What did you think about its themes, what exactly did you like about Raskolnikov's journey and what resonated with you, what did you think of his notions and shit. Stuff like that, you know? Because otherwise you barely scratch the surface of a given book and get little to nothing out of it.

Idylls is top tier. Easily one of the best works of Arthuriana in the modern era. I will say though, it's not in my top 3 of all Arthuriana, but it is of modern stuff.

>>13600647
I'll do you one better, I'll give you seven.

2. Le Morte d'Arthur (Malory)

There are several reasons, but here are two big ones. First, it's conscious of its place in the history of Arthurian literature. It takes many cues from Malory, but it isn't a straight retelling. Second, it's interesting to read knowing the context in which it was written (for instance, White was allegedly a closet homosexual, and also had fierce self-hatred, so The Ill-Made Knight is fascinating in itself for that respect).
