So take the plunge today, and get downloading.01. Little WomenGreta Gerwig's recent movie adaptation has brought Little Women backinto the spotlight (Image credit: Sony Pictures)Louisa May Alcott’s family saga Little Women may have been written in 1868, but its influence still reverberates around the world today. Indeed, when Greta Gerwig’s movie was launched earlier this year, it was striking how many women around the world spoke of reading it as a key memory from theirchildhood. If that doesn’t include you (and believe us, this is a book for all ages and genders), we’d urge you to find out what all the fuss is about. You’ll soon fall in love with the March sisters, who experience hard times while their father is away at war, testing the bonds between them.Download The Invisible Man on Audible (opens in new tab)Listento a sample:There have been lots of TV, comic and movie adaptations inspired by The Invisible Man, including the 2020 thriller that hit cinemas earlier this year. Yet none save the 1933 black and white movie actually follow the original story by HG Wells, so if you haven’t read that yet, you’re in for a real treat. Published in 1897, this dark and punchytale follows an optics scientist who turns himself invisible and then, despite his best efforts, can’t figure out how to reverse the experiment. Gripping from start to finish, this chilling novel helped established Wells as "the father of science fiction". 03. Pride & PrejudicePride and Prejudice is a romantic novel of manners written by Jane Austen in 1813that still captivates audiences around the world today. Why? In part because, rather than being either pure fluffy romance or misery porn, there’s an underlying realism at its beating heart that reflects social relationships authentically. And so while society may have changed over the years, the challenges and trials faced by the main character,Elizabeth Bennet, remain compelling. This is a beautifully written story embracing universal themes; one which continues to entrance readers across the globe.04. DraculaEnjoyed the latest BBC adaptation of Dracula, now available on Netflix? Then check out the audiobook of the original too (Image credit: BBC/Netflix)A century before Buffy andTwilight captured the hearts of emo kids everywhere, Irish author Bram Stoker’s novel first popularised vampires within the world of literature. But in all that time, and despite spawning generations of questionable genre fare, this 1897 novel has never ceased to be a must-read. The story tells the tale of Count Dracula's attempt to move fromTransylvania to England to find new blood and spread the undead curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a group led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. It’s told not as a straight narrative, but as a series of letters, diary entries, newspaper articles, and ships' log entries; but once you get used to that, you’ll soon be hooked.05. JaneEyreCharlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre might be an academic staple now, but on its publication in 1847, it was very controversial, due to its intimate, first person narrative. From the first line to the last ("Reader, I married him"), the book's main character addresses us personally and intensely, and the potency of the effect remains strong even today,especially in audiobook form. Packed with twists and turns, emotion and tragedy, this romantic, but not sentimental story really packs a punch with a modern-day audience.06. Alice’s Adventures in WonderlandYes, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a children’s book. But if you’re looking for the ultimate escapism during lockdown, then you can’t dobetter than this weird and anarchic tale of a young girl’s nightmarish trip down a rabbit hole to a magical land. If you haven’t glanced at it since your own childhood, you’ve probably forgotten how brilliantly and wittily written it is, and how mindbogglingly surreal it gets in places. What's more, some of the social and political metaphors that passedover your head back then will probably gain new meaning now you're all grown-up.07. The Curious Case of Benjamin ButtonWritten by F. Scott Fitzgerald and first published in 1992, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells the story of a man who ages in reverse: born with the appearance of an 80-year-old man, he then spends his life lookingyounger and younger. If the 2008 movie starring Brad Pitt went on too long for you, then good news: the original is actually a short story. And it’s a brilliant one, too, effortlessly pulling you into the character's mysterious world, and making you empathise with his struggle as the ultimate outsider from society. 08. Around the World in 80 DaysWrittenby Jules Verne in 1872, this classic tale sees Phileas Fogg of London and his French valet attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days for a big-money bet. It’s quite simply a rollicking adventure featuring well-crafted characters and a ton of excitement. While times may have changed, there’s a grand vision and an underlying humanity to this storythat makes it as enticing and entertaining as when it was first published.09. Les MiserablesThe audiobook of Les Miserables is a very different experience to the musical movie featuring Anne Hathaway (Image credit: Working Title Films)Long before it became a hit musical, or was turned into a film, Les Miserables was a much-loved historical novelby Victor Hugo. Published in 1862, it follows the lives and interactions of several characters in the period culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris. Pulling in multiple themes, from politics and moral philosophy to architecture and urban design, this isn’t a light read, nor a particularly happy one, but you will find it a profound experience youwon’t regret, and will never forget.10. The Jungle BookWritten in 1894 by English author Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book is a collection of children’s stories set in a forest in India. Telling the tales of a series of animals, including Shere Khan the tiger, Baloo the bear, and Mowgli, a boy raised in the jungle by wolves, it may have inspired the Disneyadaptations, but only broadly: it’s very much its own set of stories. Charming, entertaining and often thrilling, this is a must-read for audiences of all ages.Read more: Thank you for reading 5 articles this month* Join now for unlimited accessEnjoy your first month for just 1 / 1 / 1 *Read 5 free articles per month without a subscription Join now forunlimited accessTry first month for just 1 / 1 / 1 Even though large bookstores have for the most part shut down in America there are still many independent bookstores.
