Books that are considered classics but are never suggested. Books that you never see on a list of the Top 100, 250, 500. The stone cold classics that you think no one knows about but should. These are the books that you would see on someone’s shelf and would think “That person has taste”. My arbitrary line is anything before 1950.

I just finished reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and it was incredible. Was also reading some background that it was generally dismissed as a romance novel, largely because it was written by a woman, but there were so many layers to it. Easily one of my favourite classics (along with Jane Eyre, but that’s a bit more common)
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
Surrealist spy/ adventure novel- ‘The Man Who Was Thursday’ by Chesterton
The Deceiver’s Bible 🥀
