What is your favorite classic book that you think people should read and why?

lord of the flies was very entertaining. it really grasps the true nature of pre-adolescent boys. also, and then there were none is one of those books that you just cant put down. its a murder mystery and you only find out the answer in the very end. like last page.

“A Horse and His Boy” and “The Legend of King Arthur and His Knights” are great fantasy titles!

where the red fern grows.

The coldest winter ever by sistah soulja. It is a classic.

@mtl zack: I definitely second the “And Then There Were None” suggestion. It was written by Agatha Christie and was also published under the title “Ten Little Indians.” That was a page-turner.

Also: Catcher in the Rye, Romeo and Juliet, the second 200 pages of A Tale of Two Cities, Exodus, The Things They Carried, and so many more.

Summerland by Michael Chabon is a classic.

On The Road by Jack Kerouac,
The Great Gatsby F.Scott Flitzgerald,
No Exit by Satre,
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
and lastly one of my favorite books of all time A Catcher in the Rye

The Good Earth Trilogy (The Good Earth, Sons, and A House Divided) by Pearl S. Buck
and The Chosen by Chaim Potok.

Catcher in the Rye
Treasure Island
Gullivers Travels
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Once and Future King. //good king arthur story.
All of the lord of the rings series.

the bible by God its the road map to your life

The Sun Also Rises- Ernest Hemmingway

I read this while in Spain and it really brought Pamplona and the festival there into a very romantic perspective… to the point where I HAD to visit that area. I was not disappointed when I arrived, or the three days I spent there and in San Sebastian.

Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, to remind us of the very very thin line between good and evil inside all of us.

Watership Downs.
I loved that book.

Gone With The Wind

Kenneth Grahme’s “Wind in the Willows”

@upyours: I’m pretty sure The Bible wasn’t written by God…

I agreen with bluemukaki. And my favorite novels are mostly fantasy. Anything under titles by J.R.R Tolkien, Anne Mcaffery, and R.A Salvatore instantly catch my eye.
