In classics, you should try {{The Picture of Dorian Gray}}. Very strong, fascinating characterization. Another (entirely different) book in this genre is Little Women, which is lovely. Try {{The Kite Runner}} by Khaled Hosseini if you're into drama/ historical/tragedy. It's beautiful.
In the thriller genre, I recommend {{And then there were None}} by Agatha Christie. Exciting all the way through.
As a bonus, I recommend reading Harry Potter :D yes, the first three books may be more children-esque, but they're still very enjoyable. Fun characters, wild story, great experience.

Gotta love your book taste: I've read all of them! I mean Agatha Christie books are just great comfort books for me at this point and the same goes for Harry Potter 😍

there's so much to share :< have you read Anne of Green Gables? Sweet, sweet book.
babobunny OP t1_itzeflf wrote
Maybe as a kid, might have had like an audiobook of it, can't really remember it though. I'll have to give it a try again :)
Mystical_y t1_itzengg wrote
Ahh. It's one of those wholesome stories that leave a very nice after-feel. Do try:)
Mmm. The Diary of Anne Frank?
babobunny OP t1_itzerd5 wrote
Read! :D
Mystical_y t1_itzexin wrote
How about 1984 by George Orwell?
babobunny OP t1_itzfcfc wrote
That too, I had an intense classics period haha

(pants) Tess of the D'urbervilles.
babobunny OP t1_itzfqo9 wrote
Never even heard of! Exciting :D thanks for the enormous effort!!
Mystical_y t1_itzg5or wrote
I'm having great fun :D Tess is a heavy read, and personally the bleak landscape of the book got a bit too much for me. But many like it, so.
Fun travels in your reading journey! (Bonus: I love Roald Dahl's short story collection, Tales of the Unexpected)

Yes to The Kite Runner! For characterisation, I'd say Mariam in A Thousand Splendid Suns is my favourite of his.
Mystical_y t1_itzc861 wrote
A Thousand Splendid Suns is heartbreaking :<
SuccotashCareless934 t1_itzde4z wrote
I know 😭 I've yet to read 'And The Mountains Echoed' - it's on my bookshelf so it may be my next read (just starting The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende now).
Mystical_y t1_itzdsj9 wrote
'And the Mountains Echoed' is quite nice too. But the other two books of his are just better, imo. I haven't read the Japanese Lover. Got so much to read :D
AmeliaReid28 t1_iu0b3kv wrote
Also by Khaled Hosseini, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" such a moving story.
Mystical_y t1_iu0comg wrote
Yes, it is :') Such a profound story.

Picture of Dorian Gray is one of my all time favorite books. It's the only book I've read multiple times.

It IS a good book.
