GREAT NOVELS

Well i was just cleaning out my cupboard and a book fell out( No it wasnt a porn magazine). It was a copy of a book i loved to read, it was a copy of the book 'The adventures of Robinson Crusoe'. When i saw the book, a wave of nostalgia overcame me cause i hadnt read the book in ages and im sure no one nowadays has read it. Todays world is overcome with books like LOTR(lord of the rings series), Harry Potter series and some weird book called Twilight. No one reads novels like Pride and Prejudice, Tom Sawyer, etc anymore. I guess it would be fair to call them classics. So i decided to name the top 5 classics according to me(random order)

1. Oliver Twist-Charles Dickens: Oliver Twist is a heartwarming tale of a young orphan boy who undergoes many hardships in life but manages to stand on his own two feet. The story describes his struggle against society and how he emerges victorious

2. Tom Sawyer-Mark Twain: Tom Sawyer is the story of an adventurous boy who has the characteristics much like the youth of today, like arrogance,naughtiness and a lot of disregard for rules. This novel written beautifully by Twain brings to light the world through the eyes of a 13 year old. A must read especially for children

3.Robinson Crusoe-Daniel Defoe: By far my favourite classic of all time. It traces the journey of a man stuck on an island cut off from the rest of the world and how he tries to survive on it spending close to 30 years on the island and how he matures from a boy into a man. I recommend this book to everyone.

4.David Copperfield-Charles Dickens: Another Charles Dickens masterpiece. Dickens had an amazing talent of transforming simple stories into a complex narrative. Such is the case with David Copperfield, a story of a boy and traces his life from a young boy of 8 to a man of 32 and just like Dickens' other novels this story ends happily ever after.

5.A Christmas Carol-Charles Dickens: This is turning out to be the Dickens' show. Possibly the best novel written by Dickens, this story talks about a stingy rich old miser called Scrooge and describes as to how his heart melts on seein the people struggling in society and shows that christmas is indeed a time for miracles. Read the book for the 3 spirits cause they literally lift
Scrooge and throw him into a world of realism

Thats my top 5 all the above are brilliant books and must reads but there are other books which didnt make the cut but are also really good like the following-
Kim-Rudyard Kipling
Jungle Book- Rudyard Kipling
Huckelberry Finn-Mark Twain
Pride and Prejudice-Jane Austen
Great Expectations-Charles Dickens
Call of the Wild-Jack London

I suggest that all the above books be read atleast once
