Top 5 literary works written before the 21th century

I'll answer with my faves so this is highly subjective of course:

Les Miserables because I would have been someone else if I hadn't read that book at 14

The Great Gatsby because we stan delusional men with a pretty smile trying to repeat the past

Le Cousin Pons because old gay neurodivergent artists doomed by the narrative

For Whom the Bell Tolls because I need a room full of health care specialists before even attempting to talk about that book

Ninety-three (Hugo) because I cried for a week after finishing it
