there are many
when I was a teen it was probably Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The classic I've most enjoyed recently was Crime and Punishment, I was expecting a dense slog of a book but it's really a very well paced thriller.

The only book I remember reading as a teen, because I wanted to, was Jane Eyre.
Just last year read started reading a few classics.
I'm not very good with the language, I'm rather slow interpreting actually.
I really liked the Great Gatsby.

I know I have read The Great Gatsby but I can't remember any of it
It takes me ages to read a book now, like you I'm trying to get around a few more classics but it's very slow going, I only get about 20 mins most days where I'm not too wrecked to read.

Crime and Punishment is a brilliant book
