What are some classics books everyone should read?
You've gotten some good suggestions so far.


In American Lit., definitely Huckleberry Finn, also The Catcher in the Rye, anything by William Faulkner.


In Brit. Lit., Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, virtually anything by Dickens.


World Lit., Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, Siddhartha.


Could go on and on...but see below for a good list broken down by reading level:

pride and prejudice (jane austen)


on the road (jack kerouac)





and while these aren't classics, i highly recommend anything by pat conroy, john irving and stephen king
Reply:My favorite book is Robinson Crusoe. Its not my typical genre but I absolutely love it. Another book I was suprised I liked was Oedipus. Its really short (shorter than Of Mice and Men) and easy to understand and the story is just great. Definetly Where the Red Fern Grows and Anne Frank's Diary, if you have not already read those. You should try some Hemingway, probably The Sun also Rises. He is not my taste but alot of people think he is the best.
