What's your favorite classic?
I know everyone LOVES To Kill a Mockingbird but other than that, what's your favorite classic novel?
I'm trying to get to some classics this year as well as suggest some for my book club.

my read shelf:
I also love The Count of Monte Cristo, and Jane Eyre and The Woman in White.
Not sure if they can be called "classics" since they're not very widely read, but I love Louisa May Alcott's thrillers, too. She has a couple of short story compilations and a novel, A Long and Fatal Love Chase - so awesome.
