Classic for a Reason Many novels that have achieved the status of notoriety collect dust on our shelves, copies of The Great Gatsby tucked away after their mandatory read-through during school years. But these literary masterpieces are likely due for a revisit, continuing to inspire contemporary storytelling through modern adaptations. Notably, works like Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudice and A Tale of Two Cities are recognized as some of the most influential novels of all time. |

Past, Present, and Futuristic For those looking to explore alternate realities, several science science fiction novels explore otherworldly themes. H.G. Wells, who penned The Invisible Man and War of the Worlds, incorporates thrill and horror into his works for added suspense, while Kurt Vonnegut’s 2 B R 0 2 B explores ideas around aging and death. Suppose grimness isn’t for you; you might prefer a fantasy work, like The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald, whose work has inspired both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Timeless tales, like Peter Pan and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are also available to take you on captivating journeys. |

Trip Down Memoir Lane The collection holds the life stories of many historical figures, broadening our general knowledge of the world. Listen to the autobiography written by Helen Keller when she was in her early 20s, or the success stories of industry titans like Henry Ford and Nikola Tesla. There are also recountings of monumental events, like personal memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, and important historical records from Louis Hughs during his time in slavery before and during the Civil War. |
