The canon, minus the homework feeling. Start anywhere.
A house in Ohio, a mother, and a past that arrives at the door. The great American novel. No arguments.
Five sisters, one insufferable man, and the best banter in English fiction. Reread it, honestly.
A married woman falls for a dashing officer in a society that will not forgive her. Eight hundred pages of life.
A man, a whale, a very long grudge, and every digression you could want. Funnier than its reputation.
Big Brother, doublethink, Room 101. The dystopia every other dystopia is measured against.
A governess, a brooding employer, and a very loud attic. Gothic romance, still smouldering.
Gilead, a red dress, and a woman remembering the before. You know why it matters.
Parties, a green light, and a man who invented himself. Short enough to read in an afternoon, and it deserves several.
A new bride arrives at Manderley and finds the first wife everywhere. The gothic novel other gothic novels dream about.
A boarding school in the English countryside with rules nobody explains, and three friends who grow up inside them. Quiet devastation.
