What are some classic books yall like reading? Like Fahrenheit 451, Lord of the Flies stuff. I wasn’t a big fan of Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird, but I still want to try to dive into the “classics”, if that’s what they’re called now

Normally I hate classics but I did like Frankenstein. I enjoyed the “storyception” narrative where it’s a story within a story within a story and so on. I also liked Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin
