/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.600691]

Hey /lit/, I live in a non English-speaking country and I've finished reading most of the Russian and French classics I planned on reading a couple of years ago.

Now I'm going to buy some English classics (not translated, of course).

Please recommend some classics.

So far I've got:
- Farewell to Arms
- The Great Gatsby
- Catch-22
- The Sound and the Fury
- The Catcher in the Rye
- Lord of the Flies

(no Bradbury, Huxley or Orwell as I've already read plenty of them. Oh, and no Moby Dick or Ulysses, yet)

both incredible award winners:

Watership Down
To Kill A Mockingbird


also, if you're into dystopian futures:

Fahrenheit 451
1984

Greatest standalone book I've read recently:
Nation, by Terry Pratchett

Best series:
Codex Alera, by Jim Butcher
first book is: Furies of Calderon

oh, forgot to say,

those first 4 are classics

the last two submissions aren't - wouldn't wanna be flamed

>To Kill A Mockingbird

Noted. I've already read the other 2. I'll probably pass on Watership Down, at least for now.

Thanks :3

Kurt Vonnegut. Cat's Cradle was my favorite but Slaughterhouse 5 is his masterpiece.
