A tiny sampling of classic and/or wildly popular first-person narratives:

Frankenstein

To Kill a Mockingbird

The Sun Also Rises

Huckleberry Finn

Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories

The Great Gatsby

Lolita

The Catcher in the Rye

The Time Traveler’s Wife

Paper Towns

Looking for Alaska

The Fault in Our Stars

Gulliver’s Travels

The Harry Dresden series

Life of Pi

The Handmaid’s Tale

Great Expectations

Island of the Blue Dolphins

The Sookie Stackhouse books

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

The Book of the New Sun

The Forever War

Angela’s Ashes

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Fight Club

The Kushiel series

Treasure Island

Robinson Crusoe

Khalil Gibran’s Jesus the Son of Man

How to Train Your Dragon

The Diary of a Young Girl
