/LIT/-APPROVED WOMYNBOOKS
------------------------------------------------

>1. Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte)
So good you'd think it was written by a man.

>2. Emma (Jane Austen)
You'd never think this was written by a man, but even so, it's pretty good.

>3. Collected Poems (Emily Dickinson)
She was crazy as a jaybird but that doesn't disqualify one from being a poet.

>4. Love Poems, Sappho
Sadly, we don't actually have these as such, but there's a decent amount of circumstantial evidence to suggest they were pretty good. They need faking up, to be honest.

>5. Short Stories, Flannery O'Connor
Real life as it's really lived, in all its false-leg-stealing, grandma-shooting glory.

Anthem was actually pretty good.
But don't read it if you've read any other Ayn Rand story. Theyre all the same.

Never heard of that. Sounds like Atlas Shrugged Meets Gattaca.

Looks as though it has the advantage of brevity, at least :)

George Eliot was a woman? What drug-fuelled nonsense is this?

OK, Middlemarch can go in at #7, just behind Jane Eyre.

Villette is better, plen.

>> No.11096920

>>11096910

Never. Claiming to prefer Villette over J.E. is just too-cool-for-mainstream pseudity, like saying Stairway isn't LZ's best song. Sometimes the best-seller is the best.

>> No.11096929

>>11096910

Admittedly Villette does have one great section, which is describing the little 6-year-old Polly and her friendship with Graham when he's a schoolboy. That's unironically awesome. But the book as a whole doesn't have a tenth the punch of Jane Eyre.
