5. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
This book will always be at the top of my most recommended books to read, from the moralistic writing to the intense vocabulary. The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of Oscar Wilde's most famous novels and very worth reading. As you get sucked into a story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty, you will enjoy the riveting plot points and well thought-out theme.

This brilliantly written classic won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. The novel covers the issues of rape and racial inequality as well as class and gender. Harper Lee creates this beautiful story along with beloved characters, Scout, Jem, and Atticus Finch. The story line will get you hooked and the ending will leave you astonished. This novel has been one of my favorites for a very long time.

But once you read his work, you won't be able to mistake his writing, or him in general, from anything else. After reading the novel, you will have tears streaming down your cheeks.

Pride and Prejudice has quickly became one of the most famous novels in literature. Most people think of Jane Austen as a charming, witty, and humorous writer. She writes as if she is talking to you personally, like reading a letter from a secret pen pal. She writes about the best female protagonists, who are strong and good-natured, and gets you attached to all of her characters. After reading Pride and Prejudice, Austen will leave you fawning over Mr. Darcy.
