I even learned French, so I could read The Stranger exactly as it was written and got myself a French copy of The Stranger.

I see a lot of people hating on Catcher in the Rye. It's one of my favourite books and I hope my comment provides some context. The author was a WW2 veteran that fought in the Normandy Landing. He wrote Catcher in the Rye because he was deeply traumatised by the horrors of the battlefield. The book is metaphorical for a soldier's struggles with PTSD, grief and depression, in a society that doesn't take mental health seriously. The protagonist, Holden, is mentally ill and developmentally stunted due to his brother's death and his friend's su1cide. He talks about being su1cidal, being an alcoholic, and having imaginary conversations with his dead brother. It's also implied that he had been s3xually abused as a kid. When you read the book it is immediately apparent that Holden's mind is incoherent and confused. His mental health deteriorates as the book progresses, and by the end he started hallucinating and going fully insane. His sister supported him and brought his sanity back, and the story ends with him accepting psychiatric treatment. Holden isn't meant to be a likeable or relatable character. The book isn't even meant to be enjoyable - it's filled with misery from start to finish. But I do believe it's the best portrayal of trauma in literature.

This is due to Mortamer Adler’s work on the Great Books and the Britanica Great Books collection. After millions of people in America and the UK bought these 60 volume sets, the term "classic" (antiquity) and the Great Books (everything that makes up the Western cannon) became synonymous. This happened about a hundred years ago, so not that new of a shift.

@@DanKaraJordan right I just wish we could be more specific with classification. I feel like a better word for what we call classics today should be the “canonical text” or simply “the great books”. Classics literature would refer to specifically works from antiquity, then medieval literature, Renaissance literature, neoclassical literature, Romantic literature, Victorian literature(Anglo-centric) Modern literature then postmodern literature. All of these categories would fall under the umbrella of the western canon.

For Les Miserables I prefer the alternative “Everyone Dies” You could also include the “in 19th century France” if you want to truly capture Victor Hugo’s contextual asides in the middle of the book

@devstuff2576 It is literally, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” It’s a well known quote that anyone with a minimal level of reading comprehension can remember.

great video, but I think the wording for Crime and Punishment could be a bit better. Raskolnikov regrets committing murder, that's true, but he doesn't truly feel guilty about it even at the end of the novel

Lolita: a pedophile falls in love with an illusory image of a 12-year old girl, just like how you keep developing immature fantasies about people you are attracted to and are crushed when they actually have flaws. Blood Meridian: Cormac McCarthy writes about dark stuff to try and convince you that the world is completely in fixable. Perfume: SNIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Hitchiker’s guide to the galaxy: literally name another Sci-fi comedy that isn’t Rick and Morty or Spaceballs, because I am willing to bet good money you can’t.
