A Quote by E. M. Forster
In the presence of these women Leonard had arrived, and he spoke with a flow, an exultation, that he had seldom known.

Featured Listen
A Passage to India is a masterful exploration of cultural tensions and misunderstandings. Published in 1924, this classic novel remains relevant. Forster's nuanced portrayal of both British and Indian characters earned the novel critical acclaim and accolades, including the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. In 1984, A Passage to India was also adapted into a successful film.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
