sdeangelo Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I read A Christmas Carol every year to get in the festive spirit.... So do I! I also go see the play at the Guthrie Theater here in Minneapolis every year as well, which every year is fantastic...there is no better way to get into the spirit of giving than by reading A Christmas Carol.

Fi. Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 It's nigh on impossibe to narrow my choices down to three so here's my top three at the moment The Romance Of The Forest - Ann Radcliffe Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte Dracula - Bram Stoker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Great Expectations - Charles DickensPride and Prejudice - Jane Austen Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte All the obvious ones but I love them Perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willoyd Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ouch - this is difficult. Two are easy: Sense and Sensibility Bleak House but the third???? I suppose it'll have to be To Kill A Mockingbird, but then no Moby Dick or Vanity Fair or Wuthering Heights or War and Peace, all of which are monumental favourites. And where do classics start and end? (I could of course have simply voted for three Austens, including Persuasion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracea88 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Found it very difficult to choose but I love these three in no particular order: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Persuasion by Jane Austin Anna Karenina by Tolstoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest velocipede2288 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 A Christmas Carol. Charles Dickens. Call of the Wild. Jack London. The Three Musketeers. Alexandre Dumas. But They are just the ones I enjoy the most at the time. In the middle of another book, I may change my mind. I loved Nichlolas Nickelby, and the Pickwick Papers, I found the funniest of Dickens and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raskolnikov Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 All the books above are great. Here is my choices - Tolstoy, The Kreutzer sonata / very radical and intense drama about jalousy and crime - Dostoievsky, The Idiot / What if Jesus was alive now ? His kindness and lack of self-esteem would make of him a pure "idiot" in the balance of our judgemental societies - Huysmans, Against nature / This is the yellow book given by Lord Henry to Dorian Gray / The story of decadent man who indulges his own passions in order to live remote in an excentric house at the end of the 19th century Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaustoMerckx Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I'm going for beat(ish) classics. Of time and the river - Thomas Wolfe The plague - Albert Camus The dharma bums - Jack Kerouac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
