The Brothers Karamazov
by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1880)

by Ernest Hemingway (1929)
War Correspondent Dispatch
War, love, tragedy, and prose so clean you could eat off it. Hemingway drew from his real WWI experiences to write the ultimate 'everything falls apart' novel.
by Mary Shelley (1818)
Geneva Chronicle
Forget the green monster from movies—the real Frankenstein story is a tragic tale about a scientist who ghosted his creation. Peak toxic creator behavior.
by Emily Brontë (1847)
Yorkshire Moors Edition
Think you know toxic relationships? Heathcliff and Catherine invented the template. This 1847 drama hits harder than most modern thrillers.
Hear footsteps? One click transforms your Victorian romance into very serious financial reports. Heathcliff becomes "Q3 Revenue Projections" faster than you can say "synergy."
Perfect for the time between meetings, bathroom breaks, and "checking your email." Read Frankenstein one sneaky chapter at a time. Your productivity metrics remain mysteriously intact.
Casually drop "I just finished The Brothers Karamazov" at happy hour. No one needs to know you read it during standups. Wuthering Heights film drops Feb 2026—be that person who read it first.
