BookNymph Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I just started reading classics in 2011, so I haven't read much, but if I had to choose from the one's I've read, they definitely have to be : 1. Dracula by Bram Stoker 2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 3. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyzenthlay Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 1. Pride and Prejudice - how could it not be? I've read this book so many times, too many to even count. 2. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick 3. A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess 2 & 3 are classics, right? I've read a fair amount of classics, other Austen novels, Russian authors, Dickens, Twain, Salinger.. But these 3 are my pure favourites.

Ben Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 1. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. 2. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. 3. A Room With A View by E.M. Forster. Possibly just about in order. Honourable mentions: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I've also probably missed some.

Korenith Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If we aren't including the Modernists as classics then I guess my three are: Frankenstein Gulliver's Travels The Turn of the Screw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peahen Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Jane Eyre - by Charlotte Bronte. The first time I wanted to ration a book so that it would not end. Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. Recently rediscovered. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The symbolism within each sentence.

chevinhawk Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 One would have to be a Jane Austen, probably Persuasion. Becky Sharp is definitely my type of girl, so Vanity Fair has to be in there. I also adore Dickens, so one of his will have to go in. Probably David Copperfield - there are just so many wonderful characters in it.

Dominik Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 As for me, my top three classics are: 1. The Hero of Our Time by M. Lermontov 2. The Corsair by George Gordon Byron 3. The Crime and the Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky There are a lot of interesting and charming characters and the amazing plots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmeagain Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I guess I liked Crime and Punishment, and The Idiot, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. And Bleak house by Charles Dickens . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
