My English teacher said that classic lit. is only like over a hundred years old, but she's not here is she?
To Kill a Mockingbird Romeo and Juliet The Phantom of the Opera Little Women C.S. Lewis books Ronald Dahl books and of course Dr. Seuss!
I mean our first books were Dr. Seuss!!! Gotta love em!
I guess I don't read very many old books!
Edit: Thats what that book was called! The last Unicorn! Is that the one where that person jumps off a tower and enters another world? And this dude can fit a trailer in his pocket???

The book you're thinking of is Into the Land of the Unicorns by Bruce Coville. It's the first book in his Unicorn Chronicles series. I wish that I had something constructive to add to the list. All the books that I can think of have already been said a few times already.

ya, out of those that you've mentioned, I've read A Doll's House. I started to read Emma, but (even though I usually love this kind of reading) I was bored to death.
Has anyone else read No Flying in the House? I don't know if it would be considered a classic. I've also read the whole Nancy Drew series (the original series I mean), and the Encyclopedia Brown series, and the Boxcar children series.

Gotta love Walden, Swans! *mutters to self* WHY did I ever decide I wanted to read it, so boring and long... Fahrenheit 451, though I don't really like it... Shakespeare's plays. Would they count? works by long dead Roman and Greek guys, like Caesar's Gallic Wars or Aristophanes's The Clouds... And above all else, anything by Tolkien. Stuff like that. I guess. wasn't "the clouds" by aeschylus? i could be wrong... on-topic: i think some of marquis de sade's works are "literary classics", as well as sacher-masoch's venus in furs. and did anyone say pride and prejudice?
