List all the classics that were fast paced and/or page turners for you.
Books I’ve read that have had this effect on me:
– The Count of Monte Cristo – Dumas
– We Have Always Lived in the Castle – Shirley Jackson
– The Haunting of Hill House – Shirley Jackson
– Never Let Me Go – Kazuo Ishiguro
Nothing too gory or overly scary please! (Shirley Jackson is as scary as I go) The classic can be from any year/century.
