woolf woolf Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I'll consider books with at least 50 years, as a rule of thumb to consider pieces that have impacted and endured multiple generations. As a personal rule, it should also be a book that I read some years ago and still resides in my usual thoughts, creeping in while I'm daydreaming or thinking about a personal situation. I haven't read many of the books here mentioned, although it seems I have read most of the more often mentioned. Alphabetical order: "Crime and Punishment", Fyodor Dostoevsky "Jane Eyre", Charlotte Brontë "Wuthering Heights", Emily Brontë Like so many others here, I'm fond of gothic fiction.

France Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Top three classics as in the best you've ever read or classics you'd be happy to read again or already have? Dracula, War and Peace and The Three Musketeers are definitely up in the best stories I've read but I have no inclination to pick them up again. But these I'd be happy to read again, (in fact Bleak House is the only one I haven't). Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen Persuasion - Jane again Bleak House - Charles Dickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
