BY JOHN STEINBECKThe Grapes of Wrath

With visceral, heart-wrenching clarity, this depression-era novel

hitches readers to the back of beat up ‘26 Hudson pickup and

drives them nonstop down a dusted dirt road, demonstrating

beautifully one family’s fight for unity and prosperity in wake of

endless hardship.

BY GEORGE ORWELLAnimal Farm

Allegory will likely never be

executed with such brutal

mastery as in Orwell’s

dystopian masterpiece, where

farm animals and humans...

...reenact with startlingly,

vicious honesty the motivations

both personal and societal

which erupted and fueled

Russia’s Stalinist era.

BY JOSEPH HELLERCatch 22

Heller’s work reflects the sense of anguish

felt when faced with an impossible, mind-

eviscerating paradox. He did so, so

poignantly he earned the phrase “catch-22”

a spot in the English lexicon.

BY ANTHONY BURGESSA Clockwork Orange

Peer inside the dysphoric

horror-scape inhabited by Alex,

a delinquent murder turned

involuntary, brainwashed

moralist, and challenge yourself

with the question of whether an

involuntary good is truly

preferable to a freely chosen

evil.

BY ELIZABETH BOWENGiven today’s prevailing

anxieties, this novel explores

experiences of sifting through

the heightened, tense

emotional landscape of Europe

between world wars, where the

newly rebuilt threatens to

collapse once more, seems

especially relevant.

The Death of TheHeart

Page 8: 10 Classic Fiction Books You Should Read Right Now

BY MARGARET MITCHELL Gone With the Wind

This epitome of the American romance novel also manages to

vividly capture the cataclysm of Southern life and culture during

the Civil War.

BY C.S. LEWIS

The Lion, the Witch andthe Wardrobe

One hundred years of mad

winter hold sway over Narnia,

and only four English children

can break the land free of a

witch’s clutches.

The fantasy genre paradigms

established in Lewis’s magnum

opus set a standard to which

hordes of later works would

conform.

BY ERNESTHEMINGWAY

The Sun AlsoRises

Hemingway offers audiences an alternative

glimpse into the psyches of the so-called

“Lost Generation,” brave souls who lived

through and thrived on after WWI.

BY ZORA NEALEHURSTON

Their Eyes WereWatching God

A rich tale of strife and self-

discovery, Hurston’s electric

prose embodies and empowers

a voice too often marginalized.

BY HARPER LEETo Kill A Mockingbird tackles

difficult subjects of rape and

racism, succeeding massively in

weaving a complex tale

espousing the nature of human

morals and motivations.
