What are your suggestions for classic literature?
I am looking to expand my collection. Thanks.

I began (as a pre-teen) with Jane Eyre. It is so immediate and draws you in by being (at first) about dysfunctional families and a boarding school.
My Mum (Head of English in a girls school at the time) suggested I tried Emma next. She is so annoying but in charge of her own destiny, being independently wealthy.
I moved on to weirder stuff after that - Castle Rackrent, Tristam Shandy, even Latin works (in Translation).
Orlando became a teen years favourite.
