"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

Grimms' Fairy Tales
- The Frog-Prince, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Cinderella, etc.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published the fairy-tale collection in 1812. At the time the Grimms were surviving on a single meal a day—a hardship that could explain why so many of the characters in their book suffer from hunger. However, it went on to be, perhaps, the most successful book of all time, after the bible.
As Elfriede Kleinhans said “The age for hearing these fairy tales is three years to death.” Read me another one, please.

“I didn’t attend the funeral but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it”

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë
- Only recommended for the ladies

Jane Eyre was published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. It met with general acclaim until it became known that a woman had written it. It was not thought that a woman could write such a passionate novel and seem so knowing sexually. There was concern for her moral welfare as some of the book dealt with the “grosser and more animal portion of our nature”.

Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
- The grandmother of chic-lit

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
As Jane Austen said herself of her work "Upon the whole... I am well satisfied enough. The work is rather too light, and bright, and sparkling; it wants shade…"

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

- The great story of crime and redemption, a lesson for us all.

The War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells
-It really is better than the film

When Orson Wells broadcast his radio adaptation of the work it caused mass panic. This is how the New York Times reported it on Oct. 31, 1938:

A wave of mass hysteria seized thousands of radio listeners between 8:15 and 9:30 o'clock last night when a broadcast of a dramatization of H. G. Wells's fantasy, The War of the Worlds, led thousands to believe that an interplanetary conflict had started with invading Martians spreading wide death and destruction in New Jersey and New York.
