I’ll go first. I loved Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier because from the very beginning the prose created a quite chilling picture of the de Winter estate, a dark atmosphere was created and there was mystery. Throughout the book I also felt as if Maxim’s dead lover, Rebecca, haunted the manor like a ghost, manipulating the residents from the grave. I loved the reveal.
Rebecca was the book that made me go “classic books are good actually”.

Might be a basic answer but Pride and Prejudice.
I feel like if you’re a fan of modern romance novels in any form, it’s a must read.
very first book I read was Treasure Island, I’ve loved classics ever since.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
All books I loved that made me check out other classics.
