Worthwhile Long Classics to Read 📚

Interested in reading a long classic, but don't know which ones are actually worth your time? I'm here to (hopefully) help! :)

Hi friends!

Recently, I made a video about short classics that won't take you forever to read. After that video I asked myself, which long classics are worth the time it takes to read them? Which long classics are worth the longer commitment? Well, I made a list and here it is! Of course this is entirely my own opinion, but I truly think these books are worth every page and every second it takes to read them!
I hope you enjoy hearing about some of my all time favorite classics and (hopefully) find this list helpful!

***Also, I'd love to know in the comments which long classic books you think are worth your time as well!***

Best wishes,
Carolyn Marie :)
