Its almost impossible to limit it to 3 with the selectionof classics to choose from...I haven't read one in a while but recently I went through a phase of watching classic movies and it awakened the urge to start reading them again...realistically it will be after the summer before I get to start. So going on memory my top 3 would have to be Jane Eyre(always no one), Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion:tease::lol: I know it's childish but I love adding these funny little guys:friends3:

I read A Christmas Carol every year to get in the festive spirit.... Wuthering Heights is one of my favourites (..we went to Yorkshire in May so I re-read then :) ).... Jane Austin's Persuasion blew me away last year... and that's my three!!!

 

...and as ever... the BCF has inspired me to buy more books, I've just picked up the Jane Austin collection for reading :lol:

I'm not sure precisely what you mean by classic, but...

 

Ulysses.

Wuthering Heights.

Moby Dick.

Well, I loved Tale of Two Cities and from there, though I haven't read enough to be a fair judge, I guess Jane Eyre and Lady Chatterley's Lover.

 

Too bad Gentlemen and Players isn't a classic yet.

 

I completely forgot about Oscar Wilde. I can't pick off hand. Just him.

Of the 5 I've read so far:

 

1. The Count Of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas (which I'm reading at the moment)

2. The Moonstone - Wilkie Collins

3. Selected Short Stories - Guy De Maupassant
