The classics are making a comeback. The great books of the past, which have been in danger of falling by the wayside as people read less and less, are suddenly reentering the zeitgeist. Guillermo del Toro’s film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was a big hit this year. The upcoming adaptation of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights has the internet buzzing. A new miniseries of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is in the works. And influencers such as Chris Fizer and Jack Edwards are going viral for their takes on classic literature.

Movies and TV shows are all well and good, and listening to someone tell you about the classics is easy enough. But what if you actually want to read these books yourself?
