Just discovered this - I have been browsing a lot, now for my first post! As I love the classics the most, it seems right to start here.
Like many others, I'm a lover of all things Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, so they have both got to feature. I think my favourite by Jane is probably Emma, but that may be because it was the first I read. For Charles Dickens, it's currently Bleak House, just in front of David Copperfield.
Really stuck in trying to choose a third - there's just so many - but I think I will have to go with one of the great originals: The Canterbury Tales. I've never read it in the original, but the modern version I've read is brilliant - the stories are so full of life, and I love the rhythm of the poetry.
