Which classics have you read? I finished Jane Eyre recently and am currently reading Little Women.

Great story. Other classics? Hmmm....I'm sure I've read quite a few (mostly when I was in school), but I can't remember many other than LOTS of Shakespeare.

Little Women is wonderful.

I have read Wuthering Heights about 100 times. lol Seriously I had to read it in about every other lit. class in college. Then you practically had to reread it to write some of the papers.

My favorite is actually Hamlet. I'm a Shakespeare girl.

Oh these are a bit more modern, but Steinbecks' Of Mice and Men is very good. So is "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.

Mice and men, To kill a mocking bird, Little women, Gone with the wind, Catcher in the rye, Great Gatsby, and don't forget Hemingway, anything Heminway, the list goes on and on.

Lord of the Flys
Pygmalian (I'm sure I just butchered the spelling of this. Love to read, hate to spell

)

I think I have read just about every classic known to man--from The Iliad to Huckleberry Finn and everything inbetween. My favorite ones have got to be Wuthering Heights and anything by Jane Austen.

I love Steinbeck. Having been force fed Hemingway and Melville in high shool and college, I HATE them. I like Mark Twain and Shakespeare (I grew up in Ashland, Oregon--home of the oldest Shakepearean festival in the New World, so it's in my blood!). My favorite classic poem is "The Highwayman". I was introduced to poetry waaay back in the fifth grade and still love it.
