Just finished the Count of Monte Cristo. Whew! Took three renewals on Libby to finish. I had read it previously as a child — a very abridged version that our Mom gave us. (I am now 74 by the way and catching up on all the originals) !! :)
Great list! I’ve read the majority of these, but a few are still TBR. I’d never considered reading Dracula until the last few years when I heard the book was much different than the pop culture version (See also Frankenstein).

I recently re-read a Secret Garden, it was fantastic. I think this one is my more recent rediscovered favorite.
It's a treasure!

Thank you! I think a lot of people discount Dracula and Frankenstein due to pop culture understandings.
This is a great list with captivating summaries. Looking forward to adding these to my read list.
