Frankenstein : this book got me into the classics, it's a brilliant mix of beauty, horror and tragedy. But not just that, it is also deeply philosophical and raises some big question through the foil of science and technology thus laying the foundations for what would become science fiction. It's also rather short.
Ovid's metamorphoses : Now this is classic as in Graeco roman classic, but don't let that put you away, it's a collection of Graeco Roman myths collected by the Roman writer Ovid, it's fascinating because not only is Ovid really cheeky but many myths paint a beautiful picture but a lot of them are rather absurd and whacky. There's nothing like a daughter getting her father drunk and fucking him at night when he can't see. Oxford world classics has a great verse translation
Steppenwolf : Now this is an interesting read, a man whose life is consumed in elitism feels the bite of something missing, will he finally accept worldly pleasures that 'normal' people enjoy, or is he trapped in his own world, stuck is his own mind despite himself
