What's your must-read classic?
I've been reading a lot of fluff lately and feel like I need a good classic. What is your favorite? Maybe since it is fall and school is back, i feel like i want to work my brain a little. Maybe there is one I forgot about or haven't read yet. TIA
Re: What's your must-read classic?
Also rans: A Separate Peace; To Kill a Mockingbird; Look Homeward, Angel; Breakfast at Tiffany's; The Mysterious Affair at Styles; The Crystal Cave; and Joy in the Morning
I was just watching the movie the other day on TV and it made me want to pull it out for my annual re-read.

I consider The Bell Jar a classic. I liked it, but I think I would have liked it even more had I read it as a teen.
Of Mice and Men
Grapes of Wrath
My Badges:
Yes, I think it counts. I've read that one and really enjoyed it.
I've never read Animal Farm and feel like now I should.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
- Neil Gaiman
Married Bio
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my faces, but I'm not sure I could reread it very much, just for the sheer size.
52 Books in 2014??
My sweet babies:
Thanks everyone!
I think it is time to read Breakfast at Tiffany's and Jane Eyre. Somehow I made it through high school without reading Jane Eyre.
I'll save Little Women for Christmas time. It always reminds me of Christmas and would be a good reread.
