Books from classical literature you should read again and again

If you love the classics, then you should read these two books curated by the Genretop review team. They should be on everyone’s to-read list!

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

In this novel by Jane Austen, she shows the folly of judging by first impressions plus superbly explains the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class British life.

The story involves Elizabeth Bennet who meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy. At first she thinks he is arrogant and conceited; while he is indifferent to her attractive looks and curious mind.

When she later discovers that he has involved himself in the relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, Elizabeth is determined to dislike him more than ever.

I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith

Cassandra Mortmain lives with her bohemian family in a crumbling castle in the middle of nowhere. Her journal records her life with her beautiful, bored sister, Rose, her not-so-glamorous stepmother, Topaz, her little brother Thomas and her novelist father who suffers from writer's block.

When the American heirs to the castle arrive, their lives are turned upside down and Cassandra finds herself falling in love for the very first time.
