Most people shy away from “classic” books, thinking them to be outdated or written in a way that’s hard to read. While this is true of many classic novels, there are plenty of classics that stand the test of time. I like to call them “Time Capsule Books,” because you could lock the book away and dig it up again a hundred years later and it would still be relevant. Here are some Time Capsule Books you might enjoy:
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Are you There, God? It’s me, Margaret by Judy Blume
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
