Those are all the ones I know of, if you have any that aren't on the list feel free to add them . My fave is Dracula. I tried to read Frankenstein and Little Women but they got boring. The same with Black Beauty

Ah, I've only read Dracula and Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn. Blah! I'd hafta add my own here. Tale of Two Cities anyone? Oh, and duh, LotR. I'm sorry, it is a classic, my lit teacher even admits it.

[glow=green,2,300]I read LoTR but it took a month to read the two books I've read. (Does the Hobbit count as part of that series or no?) Do they make books where the print is slightly bigger, the little print is slowing me down! [/glow]

well none of those classics are my favourite. classics seem to be awfully long *cough cough* moby dick? but i did read 'oliver twist'. took me a long time and it was hard reading but good. i enjoyed it. i started 'huck finn' but the dialects slowed me down...... a lot. i didn't finish it. but i watched the movie! with elijah wood.....

I HATED Huck Finn! The stupid southern dialect slowed me down too! I had to finish it though, it was required reading for Freshman at the high school I go to. (BTW, I am from Alabama, and we have accents but believe me, almost no one speaks like they do in Huck Finn!) Of course, over 100 years, dialect can change, but still...... But anyway, I picked Other. I am actually not a huge fan of classic literature, I mostly read recent stuff. However, I read Animal Farm by George Orwell and loved it!

Wait, I change my mine! Of course, how could I forget about it? The Wizard of Oz people! How great was that? And the real version, not the little kiddy movie one. Let's chop off some heads!

It's so hard to pick a favorite...
I'll have to go with Treasure Island... it was one of the few from that list that I've read, and I loved it ;D
Being the vampire fan that I am, I'm dying to read Dracula. Is it good?

[glow=red,2,300]dracula is okay. it's basically diaries of all the people that go together with the story. its very very good. oh i forgot to write Phantom of the Operah as a choice. that book was so good, and it made me cry. [/glow]

Has anyone read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? I read it this summer. I was very disapointed. It was not very scary and very short. You din't even know there was a monster thing happening until the very end. *Sigh* Not all books can be perfact...
I vote for other! Three of my favorites are The Invisable Man, Jane Ere and Silas Marner.

Yay! More Dante fans, that's awesome! Must change answer again, Phantom of the Opera definately takes the cake. The mirror room was so creepy! I felt like I was gonna hang myself just by readin it!
