I read quite a few of the classics when I was younger, catcher in the rye, huckleberry finn, Count of Monte Cristo, portrait of the artist etc. Count of Monte Cristo was amazing, I would read it again if I lived forever, but alot of the classics seem to concern themselves with philosophy and how we should live life and exploring those concepts through young characters who I don’t relate to that much anymore. Any suggestions for good books, doesn’t have to be a classic I’ve just found I enjoy reading them, that fit well with my age? Other books I’ve enjoyed: anything by Stephen King, recently read lessons in chemistry and the Wager and enjoyed them both.
