Whats your favorite Classic?
I know they’ve been crammed down our throats when we were children so many of us don’t really learn to appreciate them as works of art till we’re older.
So whats you’re favorite.
Mine would have to be A Tale of Two Cities.
And I must shamefully admit I’ve always wanted to but never got around to re-reading Romeo and Juliet as an adult.
Re: The Classics
I love that too.
I still remember spending my childhood years reading Secret Sevens and Famous Fives after school on sunny afternoons and when in teenage years my friends were all into Mills & Boons, I was reading Agatha Christies 
But I think my favorite classic that I remember is Silas Marner by George Eliot.
Re: The Classics
I’ve never read that. Hmm the list keeps growing man.
Please I used to read Judy Blum crap and Sweet valley high and the Babysitter’s club.
T read Mills and Boons; she said it was steamy sexy? True?
Re: The Classics
omg me too muniya. i grew up on that crap. add point horror to the list of things that stole my youth.
fav classic is difficult. nothing beats a kids classic though and anne of green gables/pollyanna/little women made me the raving feminist i am today :love:
I’ve never read a Mills & Boons for the only reason that the cover usually featured a hunka hunka dude with long flowing hair holding this feeble plastic looking woman in a white gown with a horse in the background and a barn with a light. It was a real put off.
Re: The Classics
hithcki you can never go wrong with little women. That was an excellent book!!!
niks 
sounds about the perfect reason to read it.
Hehehheh
Re: The Classics
I always think of staring and finishing the classics, but never do!
okay, i did like Pride and Prejudice.
do David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Three Musketeers, Christmas Carol, The Call Of The Wind, White Fang, Dracula..fall under 'classics'?? if yes, add them too.
Re: The Classics
Pallu which was your favorite?
Re: The Classics
Nahee nahee iss baath ka mathlab kiya hai?
I couldn't say which was my favorite.
I like 'A tale of two cities' too, that and 'Great Expectations' are my favorite books by Dickens.
But a favorite classic would be difficult to name, also, I haven't read all the classics (yet).
Re: The Classics
I loved great expectations, david copperfeild, and jane eyre. For some reason I didn't quite like tale of two cities, I never finished reading it... maybe I should pick it up again....

Romeo and Juliet is my favourite, I even loved the Baz Luhrmann film. The ending still makes me cry...
Re: The Classics
^^ awww You liked that movie?! You must be a real fan then.
I tell you before this thread I thought I was pretty upto date with my classics (or is that an oxymoron)
But I’ve definately picked up some that I’d like to read
Re: The Classics
in school we had to read The mill on the floss, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations.
tragic books for kids really.. but that's what they wanted us reading. turned me off classics for this lifetime.
Also read a bunch of abridged versions of classics, but i don't think those count.
Re: The Classics
Abridged is like kitaab ki baisthee—
you miss all the ooh and aah of the language and the characterization.
Persuasion and Jane Eyre are my bestest.
Re: The Classics
Great Expectations, Hamlet and Persuasion...brilliant books
Re: The Classics
Jane Eyre. Has to be.
It took me a long time to get into Great Expectations, but once I did, I loved it. However, its all about Jane Eyre.
Re: The Classics
Anything Jane Austen....
Jane Eyre
Les Miserables
