Whether you're a book reader or not, we all get the random urge to read a classic book every now and then. But let's be honest, comprehending classics is 10x more difficult than comprehending a y/a fantasy...
Reading, understanding and enjoying classics is indeed a tough ladder to climb, but once you climb it, it's hard to come back down!
Today, I've made a list of some well known classics, which are easy and fun to read, and are interesting enough to make you a fan of classic literature.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I know, I know. You're probably tired of hearing everyone talk about this book. But let me say this: it's worth a read! It follows the story of Elizabeth Bennet, the second oldest of five sisters, who belong to a middle class family. Their mother's biggest ideal of earthly bliss is to have her daughters married off to rich families. The story begins as Mr. Bingley, a man of money and background arrives at Netherfield, and falls for the eldest Miss Bennet. With him, comes his rude, arrogant and expressionless friend Darcy. Thus begins a love story which none of these y/a contemporaries can compete with.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
