"Classic" book recommendations!

<p>Lord of the Flies is, like Heart of Darkness, full of symbolism and hints about the dark side of human nature. The book can be considered a microcosm of the larger world and is thus very insightful. *Jane Eyre<a href=“which%20we%20did%20read%20in%20my%20IB%20English%20class,%20btw”>/i</a> and Wuthering Heights are excellent books, but they are written more for amusement than thematic elements. </p>

<p>Canterbury Tales is, in my opinion, a work of genius. I haven’t read another book than manages to combine satire, corruption, comedy, and tragedy so adeptly (The Miller is hilarious! :)). Be careful which edition you get; some people don’t like the Middle English.</p>
