Classics

[surrey_sucks]

Are there any "classics", either older or modern, that you'd recommend?

Over the past few years I've read a few, and would love to read more. Right now, I'm reading Grapes of Wrath, and surprisingly, I love it! (I read East of Eden a few years ago, and hated it.)

Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in Middle English. Fantastic!

Oliver Twist.
The Great Gatsby.
Lolita.

Jane Eyre, because goth!angst is awesome. (Plus it's so damn hot out right now, and for the first 100 or so pages, she's nothing but chattering teeth...)

The Poisonwood Bible -- action, adventure, army ants.

Stranger in a Strange Land -- Science fiction, meet Jack Parsons. Jack Parsons, scifi!
