Pride and Prejudice

Dante's Inferno
(most definitely awesome)

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead is awesome, I agree. However, I'm not entirely sure I'd call it a 'classic'. But yes, it's simply amazing haha.

I enjoyed Hamlet, Much Ado about Nothing and the Taming of the Shrew, but honestly I hated them while I was reading them--afterwards I actually really enjoyed them haha.

Hmm. . . .Pretty much everything Baroness Ink mentioned. Gotta love Pride and Predudice. :D We are considering the Lord of the Rings classics right?

Umm, are we twins? :lol:

I've never read Little Lord Faunleroy, I have to say. Out of all of them, Pride and Prejudice is the best, hands down. But my ALL TIME favorite classic is Gone with the Wind. Scarlett and Rhett and romancia are just mucho yay! *hugs teddy bear* It's a timeless tale, and I could (and would) read it again for the 4th time in a heartbeat.

Anything by Jane Austen or the Brontes.

And I'm "discovering" Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. I'd have to say Tolstoy wins just a smidgeon over Dostoyevsky, but maybe that's because I'm reading War and Peace right now...I really need to read The Idiot and then The Brothers Karamazov. But you all should read Anna Karenina. Oh, AMAZING story!

Pushkin's poetry rocks, too. :D
