Thanks for all your support!
Instead of responding with, "OMG I can't believe you haven't read *insert book here*, how have you not read *insert book here*?!" when discovering someone hasn't read a classic, I've learned that the best way to reply is, "What a treat you have waiting for you!" Hooray to destroying condescension and discouragement in the book community! (:
THIS IS SO WHOLESOME YEEEEEEEES
You are absolutely right! :)
Or say “oh it’s amazing! I can’t wait for you to read it!”
A classic that I recommend is the Sherlock Holmes Series.
Yes! The Hounds of Baskerville is so good!
ulvenNixie omg yes that's amazing
so i’ve been wanting to starting reading sherlock but i’m not exactly sure where to start, where do you recommend
Brittany Diaz You can start to read from A study in scarlet. Its the first story about adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
I've started with a collection of short(er) stories of Holmes, you don't have to start with A Study In Scarlet (you can if you want to, of course).
To Kill A Mockingbird is my favourite classic! I definitely think everyone should read that at least once in their life!
I didn't like it when I was in school, but I bought tickets to the play and forced my 13 year old nephew to watch it with me. I loved it. The sequel was pretty good, too.
Such an important story
Meghan Robertshaw I read that in school a year or so ago, and it was amazing
Currently reading
Yes!! I read it for school and then I had to buy it so I can read it over and over
READ THE WHOLE NARNIA SERIES IN THE ORIGINAL PUBLICATION ORDER PLEASE THAT'S THE BEST
i read them in the chronical order and i'm honestly so glad i did
i’d also recommend reading “the importance of being earnest” by oscar wilde - it’s a play and it’s pretty short and honestly HILARIOUS.
If we're talking about plays, "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller and "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw are great :) I found "The Importance of Being Earnest" so funny, although it can be pretty confusing!
Yes omg it’s hilarious!! I love that play with all my heart💕
Anna Low - Arthur Miller is one of my favorites
My favourite classic is "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett 💜
My favorite classic is The Great Gatsby all the way. And 1984 is really good too! :)
i agree!
I really need to read the great gatsby. I know my class will be reading it in the future, but I love hearing theories from my classmates. Plus, it's one I've always wanted to read and I have no idea why. 😂
1984 is one I have sitting on my shelf waiting to be read, but I always end up read literally everything else
Stefanie de Jongh I ADORE 1984! The Great Gatsby is pretty good too!
Regina Wohletz Read it! It's amazing!
Have you read " The little prince" ? It's a great classic!
he did
He did. It's one of his fav
The Little Prince was the first classic I read outside of school demands. It is such a great story.
I love The Little Prince! ❤
zeee i would definitely recommend reading it in the original french if you can
I love Dorian Gray!! It’s one of my all time favorites together with Master and Margarita 😍 So excited for you, I wish I could go back to before I read it and read it all over again!
Lotta Niemi same!!
The prologue to Dorian gray always gets and i always turn to it hen i need a refresh n my creativity
I just started reading it! I love it so far
Lotta Niemi Oscar Wilde is one of my all time favorites.
I'm going to read Emma, Pride and Prejudice, and sence and sensibility sometime this year.
Pride and prejudice is my favorite by Jane Austin. But it also could just be because my first play was of it, and so it'll always be a part of my life 😊
Love Jane Austen/these books. My fave is probably Emma, with p and p a very close second. It helps that both of those have youtube web series adaptations that I enjoy as well (Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Emma Approved).
That's great! I hope you enjoy it.. I would also recommend 'Persuasion' by Jane Austen.. It's one of my faves
My mom is a huge Jane Austen fan (I'm named after Emma) so she's been handing these to me, starting with Pride and Prejudice. We also both love Georgette Heyer, so if you like Jane Austen definitely check her books out, especially Arabella, Frederica, and The Talisman Ring.
“Kindness all the way” ya Hufflepuff, same though 😂
I love seeing Booktubers talk about classics because it’s my favorite genre and I feel like people don’t appreciate them enough
So many favourite classics: The Lord of the Rings, The Count of Monte Cristo, Jane Eyre, and Macbeth just off the top of my head. You should consider reading 1984 if you haven't already, it's quite ... shocking I guess. If you're lloking for a good way to motivate yourself to read classics, I often pick some that my firends have read or that they've/I've been in plays of etc. so that we can motivate and encourage eachother.
Yes count of monte cristo i need to try to read the book again i loved the movie
Narnia! I love it and can wait for you to go back to it.
I’m planning to read A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens this year and my favorite classic is Hamlet by William Shakespeare.
Yesssss Hamlet!!!! :) it's one of my favourites ever
A tale of two cities is great!! you should really go for it!!
I thought Narnoa was listed as Fantasy Childrens book not classic..? 🤔
Meghan Robertshaw well, the definition of 'classic' has been hotly debated, but basically classic is the literature of any language in a period notable for the excellence and enduring quality of its writers' works (definition by Britannica.com).
So, you can say that classic is a 'long lasting works'. It is works that still well-recieved and read by so many people even centuries have passed since the books were first published. Basically any book of any genre could belong to classic. There is like, romance classic such as Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, tragedy classic such as those by Shakespeare, and even fantasy classic like Tolkien's Lord of The Ring and Lewis' Narnia.
I hope I got my point across, I am sorry that it is long and rambly😅
A Brighter Shade of Hope same! I loved it so so much
One of my absolute favourite classics is The Secret Garden ! I love the story and the characters and the writing, it is simply amazing
My favorite classic, although I haven’t read many, is definitely Frankenstein. I was pleasantly surprised when I read it for school and it turned out to be very good.
The Outsiders!!!!!
Jerrica Mccausland Yes! One of my favourites!
Yes I love that novel
I've recently read The Picture of Dorian Gray and it has become one of my favorite books of all time! It's brilliant. Can't wait to hear your thoughts when you get to reading it.
I think the reason classics are classics is not just solid storylines (sometimes optional) and storytelling, but those new perspectives and life lessons that you learn, who you become as you read and reread them. This can make them a little slower, but I feel it is very worth it.
oooh I loved Franny and Zooey when I read it!
WE ARE BLESSED FOR MORE JESSE!!
I read the entire Narnia series about a year ago and I never realized how amazing they are. There's so many subtle messages in all of the books and so much symbolism. They're great
I LOVED A Separate Peace so much in high school! The characters were so rich and the plot was so intriguing. Plus my teacher absolutely loved it, too, which helped quite a bit. The descriptions are beautiful in it!!
half an hour after midnight is a strange time to post a video about classic books
Steph okay? It's almost 4 pm for me 😂😂
Ahhaha it's 10am here
Its 1 pm in India
And 1:30 pm for me ;-)
the one downside, starlit unicorn, the one unfortunate downside
I also want to read more classics and honestly, all of these look really interesting so I'm looking forward to reading them with you!
I love re reading classics or discovering classics. They are fun! Great video!
I LOVE all of kurt Vonnegut’s work, I feel so comfortable in his surreal settings
Vonnegut’s strong point is always characters not plot. And his stuff is always ridiculous. I love it.
i LOVE pride and prejudice as well as little women. they may sound really immature or romance based, but they are truly heartwarming stories that are very well written
I’ve wanted to reread the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe too! And THAT COVER!! I’m in LOVE
I LOVE the Chronicles of Narnia! I remember my mom reading those books to me at bedtime when I was younger. I've read all of the books so many times since then and I wish EVERYONE would read and love them!!!
I love your editing lately Jesse! The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is also something that I want to get to soon!
Yes!! You will love going back to Narnia. I know I definitely appreciated it a lot more when I reread it. Some of the books in that series are surprisingly eerie. Like the Magicians Nephew, The Silver Chair and the Last Battle. Those ones always gave me an... interesting feeling. Hope you enjoy the classics!
So glad you're reading the classics!
My favorite classic and book of all time is Fahrenheit 451, it's a book every bookworm would love.
Haven't read much classics myself but they're definitely in my list.
I really love the editing in this video!!!
I recently took the leap into classic literature and I'm loving it! It's definitely a little daunting because the denseness of many classic author's writing style, but the stories are thought provoking and well worth it. My favorites so far have been The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm, 1984, The House on Mango Street, and Murder on the Orient Express. I've read a few others but they didn't quite have the same impact as these. I also highly recommend Edgar Allen Poe stories -- The Cask of Amontillado is my personal favorite!
If you like Poe then you should try Algernon Blackwood. I'm a big fan of Poe's work but Blackwood is my favourite. :)
Narnia is my literal favorite series ever! You are going to love re-reading it!!!!!!!
I found one of your videos from like, 2015 and then just now started watching your recent videos... I'm hooked!!
I really need to read more classics too!
I enjoyed The Picture of Dorian Gray when I read it for school and I read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe earlier this year. I was a bit underwhelmed, but it was still magical. I really hope you like reading all them classics and keep spreading that kindness!!!
pride and prejudice and a Tale of two cities are a classics masterpiece
Yay! The Picture of DG is one of my all time favorite books! I just finished A Separate Peace and loved that too. Great choices!
A Separate Peace!!!!! I read it last year and had so much fun with it. It's so short but so intense. The characters are so complex and the relationships between them are so thought-provoking. And God, after Catcher I've been dying to get my hands on Franny and Zoey. I hope you have fun with these classics.
OMG FRANNY AND ZOOEY IS AMAZING!!!! I literally can’t wait to hear what you think of it, J.D. Salinger is my favourite author he is literally so amazing!!
these books are all so beautiful 😍
Peace Like a River is a classic that not many have read and it is also one of my favorites, it has strong friendships and sibling relationships as well as an introverted main character, so it sounds like it may be your cup of tea ^-^
A Separate Peace has been my favorite book for years! People always give me weird looks when I say that, but when everyone in high school loved Catcher in the Rye I fell in love with ASP
Awesome choices! Dorian Gray is a fantastic book. I wish you’d add a sixth and read a classic written by a woman and/or a person of color. I’d rec The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte, which is SO GOOD and also went ignored in its day for its protofeminist undertones.
A lot of us didn't pick up on the Messages in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe when we read it when we were younger. The beauty of the series is that we can read them again.
Yay! I hope you have fun with them! My favorite out of the one's you have (that I have read) is definitely Dorian Grey. However my all time favorite classics are To Kill a Mockingbird and the Three Musketeers. Its like an ancient thriller haha~
I'm so happy for you! The Chronicles of Narnia is one of my favorite series, and if you enjoy the "Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe", you should look into the rest of books!
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY IS REALLY GREAT! I just read it a couple months ago and loved it.
Loved the stop motion bits in this one Jesse! I've been really appreciating your video editing lately :D
I absolutely adore Franny and Zooey, it will really get you thinking and introspecting and you'll find amazing quotes❤
I'M SHOOK I wrote a character a few weeks before I discovered this channel and I can't get over how much he looks like you
I’m currently reading Pride and Prejudice and I’m in love! It was hard to start since the English is old (being written in the 18th century) and having the audio book to follow with really got me into it!
The Chronicles of Narnia is one of my favourite book series ever, wonderful world and amazing characters. Love it.
I've read A Separate Peace twice for school and recently bought that same copy you have for my own library. It will "hit you in the feels," as they say.
“And thats the tea” yes Jesse spill it
Can I just say that your editing is getting better and better every video and I really love how to try to do new things (editing wise)
I love classics 💜
A separate peace is one of my favorite classics and I'm so happy that you want to read it 🙌
It is really awesome that you are branching out! Please do full reviews for the ones you really like!!! I ADORE Franny and Zooey!!! Also, pretty much anything by Mark Twain is GOLD. He is a very witty storyteller, and essential to the influence of American humor.
The catcher in the rye is amazing! I totally recommend it. Also, if you haven’t read a clockwork orange and you want a bit of a challenge, go for it!
I have also not read a lot of classics but am currently reading Grimm's Fairy Tales! I'm enjoying reading the dark fairy tales that were the original of what some of my favorite stories are based on.
it is good ..ur collection of classics is very nice
Jesse!! The Picture Of Dorian Gray is AMAAAAAZING and I don’t read that many classics either ‘cause... I love YA too much and those are always my priority. But back to the point, the writing is amazing, the plot is really intriguing, and I really think is a progressive book for it’s time, besides, it has a little bit of fantasy so... FREAKING AMAZING. (I was one of those who got really excited when you posted it in your Instastories, I just read it this February)
I know this is late but I am sooo excited that you will be rereading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and can't wait to hear tour thoughts on it!! 😄😄😄
I read Of Mice and Men earlier this year for a book challenge.
Good luck with reading all your classics. They look super interesting!!
I loved A Separate Peace! One of my favorite classics. Finny's my fav
This editing on this video is impressing me sooo much!! 💜
I started rereading the Narnia books last month and I agree, I would rather go there than just reading about it! I'm reading them in chronological order, so I started with The Magician's Nephew and I'm at The Silver Chair now. I really recommend reading the rest of the series as well if you haven't. They're really good and super quick reads, too.
I read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe earlier this year. It’s a cute and quick read, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. ✨
Finally! You have a great selection! No one should target you because you don't read many classics. But I'm glad you're getting into them!
It’s awesome that your reading the lion the witch and the wardrobe, but I would really recommend the first book in the series: the magicians nephew as well! :)
One of my reading goals for this year was to read one classic a month throughout the year. I'm also planning on reading The Picture of Dorian Gray in July.
OMG I LOVE ALL OF THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!
I was immediately pulled to The Picture of Dorian Gray when I read the description and I'm gonna read it this year too!! YAY :D so excited to hear your thoughts on these classics!
I see reading as a freedom of choice including what genre you like to read as long as it makes you happy.
Nice selection.
OMG JESSE NO WAY!!!!TODAY IS MY DAY LIKE WHATTTTTT???!! u have always been uploading videos at 4am where i am and now i just finished school and IS HAVING MY TGIF WHEN U UPLOAD 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ YAY CLASSICS HEHE I HAVE BEEN READING CLASSICS TOO!!!!
From one bibliophile to another welcome to the wonderful world of classics. I've been a lover of books and literature all my life but it's only been in the last two or three years that I've started reading some of the classics. And in that time I've managed to get through quite a few. Some titles I suggest you try are Moby Dick, Lord Of The Flies, The Catcher In The Rye, Frankenstein, Dracula and Steppenwolf. I could name many more but that should give you a good start.
OMG
The Picture of Dorian Gray is my all time favourite book! The writing is beautifully haunting and watching Dorian's story unfold is so fascinating. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Finished "A Separate Peace" a few days ago and I honestly liked it a lot. Definitely recommend for Jesse to read it!!!
With The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe, my 1st grade teacher used to read a chapter or two to us at the end of every day for fun. The problem was that when she was in the middle of the chapter, the bus riders ( a group which I was apart of )would have to leave so we wouldnt miss our ride. This meant that while the other kids were listening to the rest of the chapter, the bus riders had to get to the bus and werent able to hear the rest of the story. My teacher knew that the bus riders had to leave and didnt even pause the story so we could hear the rest of it, which we wouldve really appreciated. That meant that everyone else got to listen to the story while the bus riders mostly had to sit in the back whispering to each other so wouldnt spoil the story for ourselves. Eveyone else in the morning before school started would talk about the book, the charcters, and how the plot was developing, and the bus riders were just like "I dont know man I guess there3s some lion and a witch in a closet or dresser or whatever. " It made us sound disinterested but we really did want to know what was going on.
One classic that I really love is the Outsiders.
I love the lion the witch and the wardrobe! It’s so dang cute and lovely and pure and aaaah. I also love the great gatsby. I have the picture of Dorian grey and I think it’ll be my next read.
Yes Jesse! I’m so pumped that your reading reading the Picture of Dorian Gray
Love the Narnia series😍 read all of them!🤗
Yay classics! They can be hard to get through, but a lot of times they’re worth it! May I suggest listening to them I instead of reading them? I found that audiobooks can be really helpful if you have a hard time focusing on classic books.
Also, my favorite is The Three Musketeers.
At the beginning of every year I map out my reading so I can better tackle my TBR and this year I've dedicated my entire August to reading classics. I'm hoping to get to at least 6-7.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is wonderful, and I hope you enjoy it! I'm reading Moby Dick right now and really enjoying it. The use of language is brilliant, and I would suggest reading one chapter to see if it grabs you.
A Separate Peace is one I had to read in school. I don't have strong memories of it, but at least I don't have negative memories of reading it.
Oh! If you like Franny and Zooey (or even if you don’t) Salinger has a collection of short stories called 9 Stories and it’s incredible! Such an easy read too!
The Great Gatsby is hands down my favorite classic, but The Odyssey is a very close second. Also love the Narnia series, especially The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
YAY classics!! I'm so excited for you! I haven't read any of the classics your reading, however like you said the Picture of Dorian Gray has been shouting at me to read it! I'm currently reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, its really good but pretty gross. My favorite classic is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, the perfect mixture of horror and romance. Happy Reading!
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is not only one of my favourite classics, but one of my favourite books! It's really easy to get in to and it's also short, which is nice!
I'm sure you have already read this one already, but if you haven't, I highly recommend Old Yeller. There's just something about that book that makes me fall in love with it every time I reread it.
I read A Separate Piece for school this year and it was interesting, while it's not the most compelling plot, the characters are interesting and no matter there's a lot you don't find out until the end.
Ive also read PoDG and did enjoy it too, though it's not a favorite of mine.
My favorite classics are: Pride and Prejudice, The time machine by HG Wells and I'm currently reading the Great Gatsby and love it!
First of all, YES for kindness ❤️ Second, I’ve been wanting to read The Picture of Dorian Grey lately too! I’ve been trying to get more into classics as well and I’ve found that I tend to love children’s classics most of all. I read Anne of Green Gables in October and it’s now one of my all time favorites! I also actually liked A Separate Peace. I read it in high school and I had the best English teacher so I think that added to the experience! Ahhh and I looooove Franny and Zooey!!! Enjoy!!
We have a staff summer reading program at work, and one of the challenges is to read a book that was originally published in another language. I’m using that as an excuse to read The Count Of Monte Cristo, which I’m pretty excited about. 😁
My favourite classic has to be les miserables!
ravenclaw queen 24601 I've wanted to read les miserables but everytime i go to, i don't know something puts me off, maybe i'll just stick to the musical 😂
curiouser and curiouser I'm crazy about les miserables I've read the book three times seen the musical twice and watched the film so many times I've lost count
Same! It has my heart!!! Love love love ❤️
i love the musical and i have the book at home but it has more than 1k pages and it scares me off
