i'm not sure if you consider more recent classics but as a lit major here are some of my faves that could be considered classics: wuthering heights, pride and prejudice, song of solomon, the crying of lot 49, slaughterhouse five, 1984, hamlet, macbeth, and it's not a novel but the collected short stories of ernest hemingway... many of them are bangers. i'm not a hemingway novel fan but his short stories are often so good

It’s a short story collection by Joyce, so it’s already a classic. But I found it really poignant in its structure, and feel like it’s the type of thing everyone could find something in. Plus, it’s just a palatable way to read Joyce without picking up Ulysses sooooo

My #1 was One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Also loved The Bell Jar, Hamlet (though I never would‘ve understood it by myself) and Slaughterhouse Five.

I’m so lucky I didn't have to read this until college because there’s no way I would have appreciated it as a high schooler. I will also always go to bat for Macbeth (specifically for Lady Macbeth) and Hamlet (for depression).

not like alive ocean sponges but just regular old sponges for cleaning and such. i have a huge love for them and i actually will go out shopping just in hopes of finding a type of sponge i don't have already. i don't really collect smaller sponges like for dishes, usually larger ones like car sponges or grout sponges. i especially love grout sponges. i have almost 40 sponges currently. i have specific sponges that i hope to get someday, like a grid-cut car sponge, a set from this brand called brick & bone, a big oval sponge from a brand called armaly, a clamshell sponge, an ardex sponge. i would really like to have an epoxy sponge someday. my sponges make me happy. something about the feeling of them in my hands is just very pleasing. i sometimes put a little bit of hand soap in a bowl with some water and squeeze it through my sponges over and over again. i've never met anyone else that really cares about sponges at all, so i guess that makes it niche. i'm just a sponge loving girl!
