I read Jude the Obscure when I was a college freshman and it damn near DESTROYED me. Of course a lot of it had to do with things I was going through at the time, but it resonated and vibrated me to my core. Powerful stuff.
I also remember reading Tess later and being scared to turn the page, because everything was going so well and she was so happy and I was less than halfway through the book so I knew it was all about to crater. Then it did, HARD.

Love Hardy, in case it’s not obvious. :D
