Another loaded question, haha, since I have more than one or two favorites and I know some of y’all will, too. A recent favorite is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight but an overall favorite of mine is Pride and Prejudice or The Time Machine by HG Wells. I would argue Dune by Frank Herbert is a classic, and we all know of my love for The Hobbit at this point. So yeah, definitely a loaded question, haha.
What are your literary classic favorites?
Personal updates from this point on!
I’m sorry the posts have been either non-existent or short. I was sick and then had to catch up on college work and now I have to catch up on my writing. I’m bumping my goal down to 250,000 words by the end of the year instead of 500,000, though I’m still partially hoping I can make the higher number. We’ll see.
I got another story idea, this one inspired by John Milton’s Paradise Lost so it involves angels and demons and Nephilim and a lot of stuff like that. Also inspired by the new Devil May Cry (DmC) game that came out last week. For now it’s temporarily being called Pandemonium, and we’ll see how it goes. It might be my next project after New Fate and City of Isolation, which is New Fate’s sequel and the final book in the Modified Trilogy (yay).
In no particular order, my favourites include J R R Tolkien, both ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord Of The Rings’; jack Kerouac, ‘On The Road’; Hemingway’s ‘The Old Man And The Sea’, and (just at the moment) Hilbert Schenck’s ‘Steam Bird’, which I hope to review soon. It’s not a new book, but it is SOOOOOO clever. Jules Verne’s ‘Journey To The Centre of The Earth’ is in there.
I’m a total sucker for Kafka. Does he quality?
* I meant to ask “does he qualiFy.” *face-palm*
Haha, well it works because he’s quality and he totally qualifies!
I would have to say Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Bram Stoker’s Dracula, both ground breaking genres for their time.
