    It's nice to see a young person have such an appreciation for classic literature! A lot of young people seem to find classics boring, so it's admirable that you're able to appreciate the beautiful writing found in Great Expectations. Also cool that you enjoy Dante and Shakespeare.

    Don't just stop reading at the Inferno! Purgatorio and Paradiso are AMAZING and I highly recommend reading them both! The symbolism and Dante's poetry in Paradiso are the most amazing things I've ever read.

    Emma is my fav classic, then crime and punishment, which honestly was pure entertainment. I know this sounds weird but Crime and Punishment is hilarious. The melodrama.

    I really liked "Crime and Punishment" and "Madame Bovary" and "Anna Karenina". Did not like "To Kill a Mockingbird" (Yeah, I know, take me to the gallows!). I did like Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons", just not quite as much as other Russian novels. I think that "Master and Margarita" is overrated, but that is because I don't like magical realism much.Thomas Hardy is one of my favorites, but he is bleak and depressing.

It is EXTREMELY complex, but one of the greatest pieces of literature that ever existed on this Earthhhh and not dark at all actually. K I'm done I'm just passionate. 💘
