    Recommend me Classics that doesn't have love story, romance, feelings, etc. as a main theme. But they can be present.

    Examples I've read so far:

    Brothers Karamazov

    Crime and Punishment

    Master and Margarita

    East of Eden

    Picture of Dorian Gray

    Count of Monte Cristo

    Examples of what I don't want to read:

    Anna Karenina

    War and Peace

    Pride and Prejudice

    Wuthering Heights

    In my TBR are other works of Dostoevsky, Steinbeck.
    But I want to explore works of other authors before going back to the same ones.

    Was thinking about Les Miserables, maybe?

      Les Miserables could be a good choice, yes.

      I really enjoy Dickens. Most of his books have people getting married, but they very rarely focus on that relationship very hard. He is wordy, but you sound used to that.

      Recommend David Copperfield or Nickolas Nickleby, or really most anything.
