what's your favorite classical book you've read?

[smblomker]

Classics have never been my favorite books to read. But I will say that I have read Dracula which is still my favorite. Read Frankenstien too.

Simple: To Kill a Mockingbird by Lee. My all-time favorite book!

 

[Fantasy Moon]

The Count of Monte Cristo and I've also taken a shine to Jane Eyre, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and The Phantom of the Opera.

You have three that I like right there! Only Phantom, have I missed.

I think it was something from Jules Verne, but I am not sure which one. Followed closely by most of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

Does 'Wind in the Willows' count ?

Jane Eyre has to top the list of my favorite classics. The War of the Worlds as well. I suppose Gone With the Wind is considered a classic nowadays as well, another favorite.

I didn't care for Wuthering Heights though and Dracula was so male-domineering-annoying it failed my test as well. Even so, I'm glad I read it.

Prisoner Of Zenda by Anthony Hope . I have the fondest memories about reading it when I was a child. Sadly, I haven't re-read it ever since.

I originally read Phantom in high school, but I forgot most of it (which probably had something to do with zipping through it for the Accelerated Reader points). I read it again a couple of years ago and LOVED it! I actually have two copies because I came across a beautifully illustrated edition in the used bookshop for eight dollars. Despite having a mass market at home, I wanted the pretty pictures version sitting on my shelf too. :flowers:

Incredible! Kindle edition of Phantom of the Opera, free!

My kind of price.

Thanks Fantasy Moon. I'm looking forward to it.

I loved Crime and Punishment. Also Breakfast at Tiffanys and 1984 and Brave New World. OOh and Lord of the Flies. I keep remembering more as I type!
