What are your favourite CLASSICS

[Teesie]

Dracula
Frankenstien
Any and all books by Jane Austin
The Man In the Iron Mask
Agatha Christie's Poirot books, I consider them classic anyway, I don't know about anybody else though

I know they're are more, but it's really late, well actually very early morning, but I've not been to bed yet, so I'm a little fuzzy in the noodle at the moment, and my screen is slowly becoming just a big foggy blur before me, so I'ma hit the sack now. Good night Neverland!

It's not possible for me to pick just one favorite of the Classics. That seems to be true for all of us. I love these:

Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
Great Expectations - Charles Sickens
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

[Mariar3]

Pride and Prejudice by: Jane Austen, A Little Princess by: Frances Hodgson Burnett and most Shakespeare plays. I also liked Northanger Abbey.

Every story from William Shakespeare, I am obsessed with him. From his stories, my favourites are Macbeth and Amlet

Frankenstein, by Shelley. Not only is it one of the most influential books ever, it so perfectly encapsulates humanity's fear of creating something that'll destroy us. AI, robotics, evolution.

It's also one of the few classic books I can think of where the characters make their mark by being genuinely intelligent. Unlike...anything written by Austen or Bronte, Shelley describes characters that are smart. And they screw up, and they're terrible people sometimes, but smart characters are surprisingly rare.

"The Odyssey" in Fitzgerald's translation was probably one of the most palatable and influential reads of my young adult life: I still remember the thrill of reading the line "runnels of blood" when Odysseus murders his wife's suitors.

"Hamlet" I cannot come close to expressing my admiration for. I have read it at least ten times and will probably continue to read it at least twice a year until I die.

"Les Miserables" I have already waxed long on in other posts.

"Crime and Punishment," and, although my memory of it is scattered, "War and Peace."
