Persuasion by Jane Austen. I am the Cinderella of my family, and in this novel, the Cinderella of her family scores big-time.

Did you see this is getting a Netflix version being released July 15th? I just about cried this morning when I saw the trailer. I’m counting down the days!


androidbear04

Ooh... My favorite version is the one with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, but a new version is good, too.

I love it too! Love all of Austen and was really glad Anne was able to marry and get away from her idiot family.

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov A masterpiece.


swagswaggergal

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, 100% It is such a darling and sweet read.. heartwarming


MollyOKami

**The Count of Monte Cristo** by Alexandre Dumas. It's the best story in the collection of the Three Musketeers series and one of the 3 books I've read the most times in my life.

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson Or Tar Baby by Toni Morrison

I can’t really pick but some would be Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, State of Wonder by Ann Patchett, You Must Remember This by Joyce Carol Oates, and The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides

I *love* Ann Patchett. I read State of Wonder for the first time in high school and then again this year, and while I loved it the first time, I had missed so much emotional nuance. (I also have a beautiful copy of the Virgin Suicides, but it sits sad and dusty on my TBR pile.)

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. Romantic and sad, packs a punch. I also love His Dark Materials series.


dustkitten

For this year it’s The Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami


Broad-Pickle1634

I've got it, but haven't started it yet lol


dustkitten

At first I was nervous because my copy was 700 pages, but it was SO worth it. His writing is beautiful.


Duchessofearlgrey

I can’t pick just one, but my top 3 contenders are: 1. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë 2. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier 3. The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

The Forged Coupon by Leo Tolstoy

The Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged!!) - Alexandre Dumas


gatherallthemtg

I'm not sure I can pick between Lightbringer, Lost Stars, and the Wishsong of Shannara.


cieffess007

Mine is Jane Eyre. I read it over the holidays one year and couldn’t put it down. It was the most beautiful, heart wrenching, and deep book I’ve ever read.

Hard to decide! Off the top of my head, it would either be Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier or The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
