Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice is a really,really good book.A little bit rigid,a little bit repressed,a little bit tender,and painfully class conscious,its the full English romance package.Now more than 200 years old,the novel has been retold time and again,finding new audiences each time.Still,theres no substitute for the original. Alices Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll From the Cheshire Cat to Tweedledum and Tweedledee,Alices adventures are as strange and wonderful today as they were 150 years ago.Complete with Arthur Rackhams wonderful illustrations theres still nothing quite like it.Everyone should go down the rabbit hole at least once. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Perhaps no book does a better job of condensing Charles Dickens brilliance than his 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cities.Taking place in London and Paris against the background of the French Revolution,the story has inspired countless projects since-even Christopher Nolans Batman films.And the best thing？If you like it,all Dickens other books are ready and waiting to be read too. Frankenstein；Or,The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley Although Mary Shelleys central message of people being destroyed by the monsters they create has been largely ignored in the years since publication,the tale itself continues to be very popular indeed,and with good reason.The books masterful combination of horror,romanticism,and science fiction makes it as attractive today as it would have been in 1818.Just the thing for nighttime reading. What can you read about in Pride and Prejudice？ ______ A. Cute animals. B. French Revolution.C. Scientific discoveries. D. Class consciousness. Which book best
