Romeo and Juliet: Definitely not a love story. But I loved the monologues and if you feel the need to be seen, maybe you should check it out? (The language is simple, not difficult to understand)
Letter From an Unknown Woman: Stefan Zweig is definitely not an author you would read to chill n relax. Great start if you're going to step into the Classics world, though. I personally like the way he explains the story, the way he writes; not the story itself. (Simple language, a pretty short book)
The Last Day of a Condemned Man: The day after a man under twenty years of age is sentenced to death; the last day before he dies. All his thoughts, mindset; everything was in the book. (It's a short book too, I finished it in a few days)
What Men Live By?: This book has a few short story about values of a human being. It's a great books, I would recommend it to everyone and has beautiful messages. Can be read and finished immediately, very short and has a simple language, I know, again, so I think everyone should read it!
1984,
Fahrenheit 451,
The Brave New World: These are like the big three of dystopian/utopian novels. If you read and liked one, you will like the other two. Without any doubt. The language is not as simple as the others, so it might be harder and take longer to finish. But I love these. Would recommend, 100% .
Surrounded By Idiots: A psychology, personality analysis book. The language is easy to understand, but will take longer if you like to think about the chapters for a few moments, just like I do.
The Picture of Dorian Gray: I cried too much over this book. I will not give you spoilers, but I didn't cry because of what happened to Dorian. I cried because I lost my favorite character, which is definitely NOT dorian. He's a slvt, I hate him <3
Hamlet: Honestly, didn't affect me. Like, at all. It's actually a play, so like maybe that's why Shakespeare's books don't affect me that much, but I fell in love with the monologues again.
Dead Poets Society: Because it's originally a movie, it would be better of you just watch the movie first. The book has lots of excluded scenes, so you might wanna read the book after watching the movie. But those scenes are also on YouTube, so you decide!
White Nights: Such a pain. Super short but such a pain. Not even a pain, but I can feel an anger starting to build up inside me whenever I think about that book.
Kreutzer Sonata: Tolstoy's book, but overly underrated. Anyone barely knows about the book itself just existing. Such an interesting mindset and story. As a result of the events experienced by the man named Pozdnyshev, he developed contradictory ideas about marriage, love and sexual relations. A man with a different mindset, compared to the people that lived around his lifetime.

White Nights is one of the great classics! (even if it felt like rage bait.)
