☕️ One and Done - Classics | I've Only Read One Book by These Authors (Convince Me to Read More!)

Hello! In this video, I'm listing 10 classic authors I've only read one book by. Then you get to vote for which one you want me to read another book from.
How to Vote:
1. Leave a comment with the name of the author you want me to read another book from, and also the title of the book if you have a specific one in mind.
2. Like any comments that list and author and/or book you want me to read.

[@candicewalter9421]

My vote is for John Steinbeck. Of Mice and Men because it is short 😂 or The Grapes of Wrath.

[@ashleamarshall9370]

E. M. Forster-- A Room with a View

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

I vote Charlotte Brontë's Vilette!

[@jenniferclark677]

Charlotte Bronteë- Shirley

[@cmmatsko]

I would vote for Stoker. I havent read anything of his other than Dracula, but I want to.

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I'm going to suggest Villette by Charlotte Bronte. Tristan and the Classics, his wife likes it better than Jane Eyre.

[@amyofhearthridge]

I totally recommend Grapes of Wrath or East of Eden. They aren’t EASY content wise reads, but they are beautifully written and heart wrenching reads that are worth it. 😄♥️I can’t wait to hear your sci-fi/fantasy video, too! A fun project!

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I 2nd East of Eden. I'm not sure if I'd suggest Grapes to you....

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to everyone's input and hoping to find some new favorites along the way.

[@CandlewickLibrary]

I vote for Steinbeck- East of Eden

[@NatalyaVins-blueflower775]

I'm voting for Honoré de Balzac - La Peau De Chagrin (The Magic Skin also translated as The Wild Ass's Skin).

[@novelideea]

I can't wait to hear the sff list!

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

I'm looking forward to it too!

[@ToReadersItMayConcern]

I love the idea for this video! Great job!

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thought it would be fun to try something different.

[@rexdividends]

I don't know how the English translation would hold up (since I read it in French), but Eugenie Grandet by Balzac is worth a read

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

I hope you enjoy what you end up reading. Best wishes.

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

Thank you! I hope I do too!

[@novelideea]

Have you read more than one Melville? Because I just read Bartleby the Scrivener and thought it was quite good (& short & sad).

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

I read Bartleby, and also Billy Budd (or at least parts of it), in college. At the time, I thought Billy Budd was okay and I didn't care for Bartleby. Later I heard that Bartleby was more of a representation of how Melville viewed his life as a writer, so I have more of an appreciation for it now than I did when I read it.

[@novelideea]

@@Coffee_and_a_Book Billy Budd was just okay for me too.

[@CourtneyReads]

I don't have any author to try and convince you of because of the ones you read I also don't have much interest in reading more books from them, haha.

[@Coffee_and_a_Book]

Well at least I'm not alone! 😆

[@novelideea]

well, I won't be one to encourage you toward ANY more C.Bronte, Fitzgerald, Forster, Chopin, or Barrie (all I know of his are plays.) Kipling - Captains Courageous! John Steinbeck - East of Eden!
