I hate the Classics but I want to Read them Challenge - hosted by jones_aybee

Pick a Classic from a Genre You Love
If you're a fan of a particular genre like romance, mystery, or horror, try finding a classic novel in that same genre. You might be surprised at how modern tropes and conventions have been influenced by older literature.

for me, this will be under the murder mystery/thriller genre, feel free to add your faves.
