Re: What is your favorite classic book?
I love The Great Gatsby (and if you are looking for a recent book that incorporates a class The Double Bind is fantastic as well)
I love Wuthering Heights as well

Re: What is your favorite classic book?
Great thread Miki.....I'm adding it to my notebook.
I'm devastated that the ONLY books out of EVERYTHING that these ladies have posted that I HAVE read were Huck Finn and Of Mice and Men. The only other one I can add to this is Romeo & Juliet.
I'm so sad that my English teachers throughout my academic career didn't require me to read more classics. I really should do it now, before my son has to do a paper on one of them

Re: What is your favorite classic book?
In addition to what was listed, I really loved The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.
I took a women's lit class in college and I'm trying to remember some of the stories we read.
Edgar Allen Poe - The cask of amontillado, THe fall of the house of usher, The Tell-tale heart, The Raven
When I was a kid I LOVED the Little House series and Nancy Drew series.
I keep wanting to try Anna Karenina by Tolstoy.

Re: What is your favorite classic book?
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Catcher in the Rye
Of Mice and Men
The Chronicles of Narnia
Charolettes Web
Tom Sawyer
Wuthering Heights
I <3 them all! I would love to teach Catcher in the Rye, but I teach 7th grade. I think my students would love it, but do not think it would be approved.

Re: What is your favorite classic book?
So many that were mentioned already.... Tree Grows in Brooklyn, To Kill a Mockingbird (my dog's name is Scout), and Catcher in the Rye are prob my all-time favorites.
Short story -- have got to be The Last Leaf, and The Gift of the Magi.....I love them both - O. Henry.
