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

He never let us kiss his hand. And to be so familiar with him as to kiss his cheek – was altogether unimaginable. Besides, I doubt I would have ever dared to touch him. But I did manage to steal a pair of gloves, which retained the creases of his fingers and even a mysterious smell of perfumes. At night I sneaked out of bed and I buried myself in these gloves, reveling in this dying echo of an aroma, I couldn’t separate my lips off of them – night after night I would spend hours praying like this.
Ninety-Three, Stanisława Przybyszewska (transl. by @hhorror-vacuii)
My true God was my father. At communion it was my father I received, and not God. I closed my eyes and swallowed the white bread with blissful tremors. I embraced my father in holy communion. My exaltation fused into a semblance of holiness. I aspired to saintliness in order to conceal the secret love which I guarded so jealously in my diary. The voluptuous tears at night when I prayed to God, the joy without name when I stood in his presence, the inexplicable bliss at communion, because then I talked with my father and I kissed him.
Winter of Artifice, Anaïs Nin

“In short, between men and women you want…"
"Equality."
"Equality! You can't mean it. Man and woman are two different creatures."
"I said equality. I didn't say identity.”
Hugo was writing this in the year of our Lord 1874 and nobody is even talking about that book do I have to do everything on this hellsite
