Kendra Keuleris looking for a Book in Classics Corner

Hi! I really want to get into classics but I dont know where to start. I get bored very easily and need something that hooks me almost immediately. I also want something that's pretty easy to read. Please give me your recommendation!

PixPride and Prejudice is famous for its wit and engaging dialogue. The interplay between characters, especially Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, hooks readers early and keeps the story entertaining throughout.

Blayre OdenKafka's The Trial is very easy to read. It's actually a part of his literary technique to make things "simple" yet absurd. It is about a man who gets convicted of a crime but the crime is never said.

Kiersten ConnThis part of a collection of really simplified classics. You might actually want some a little less simplified since I read this in 5th grade, but you don't mind they these are made for children to read you could give it a try. In particular I remember really liking this one so this is the one I would recommend starting with.
