Gone With The Wind And, Alexander Dumas books solemn is one of the weighty classic literature part. Certainly our classic is Lemony Snicket art, that way all of us, spent so much time there.

Yeah, I'm not too into classical stuff, either. Though I've read my share, through school, mostly
-Dracula, Bram Stoker -Frankenstein, Marrey Shelley -Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, by John Grant -The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald -Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck
The next few I'm a bit shaky on, but meh: -Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe -Therese Racquin, Emile Zola (it was terrible!) -The Outsider, Albert Camus -One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

Can't think of any that haven't been mentioned really. Good job everyone! Lol.

I am 100% sure most of you will not know this book:
Sylvie and Bruno by Lewis Carrol. It deserves a place in that list.

I think if you can tell what's going to happen in a book just by reading the title, don't read the book.

I think if you can tell what's going to happen in a book just by reading the title, don't read the book. Then perhaps you shouldn't have read A Series of Unfortunate Events? Not sure if this one has been said, and quite frankly I don't have the energy to look through the seven pages here (sorry!), but I would have to say that The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell is quite the classic. It's a short story, but a classic nonetheless.

I don't think anyone has said these...
The Crucible by Arthur Miller The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo and, some MUST have said this and I surely missed it but, Harry Potter?

Sound of the Mountain 11.) First Love 12.) The Last Temptation of Christ 13.) Utopia 14.) Henry and June 15.) The Book of Laughter and Forgetting 16.) The Stranger 17.) The Arabian Nights 18.)

I'm pretty sure Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame could also be considered a classic.

My Brother's Keeper by Marcia Davenport. It was published in 1954 and is out of print, but I was fortunate enough to get a copy from a dear friend of mine for Christmas. It's easily one of my favorite books and one I would certainly consider a classic.
