Classics!!

[dah fuzzinator of dewm!]

If you are interested in mathematical humor and not immediately off putted by victorian humor, I recommend Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott. It's a satire about a two dimensional being who tries to describe what his life and society is like and how he could see other dimensional beings. It was so engrossing I looked up at a clock and realized three hours had flown by. Then again you could count it as xenofiction and I liked that kind of stuff, so I may be biased.

To Kill a Mockingbird heart
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Tom Sawyer too, but personally, I didn't like that one nearly as much)
The Canterbury Tales
Jane Eyre heart
anything by Jane Austen (a lot of the characters are rather annoying because it's social satire, but the stories are still good)
Slaughterhouse 5 (I would read Cat's Cradle first, though)
A Wrinkle in Time (along with the other 3 in the series)

I read An Old-Fashioned Girl, also by Louisa May Alcott around the same time as Little Woman and loved it to pieces. I don't know if it's quite as famous, but it was a really, really fun read. Same goes for Tom Sawyer. Of course, there's always Jane Austen.
Currently, I'm going back and forth with H. P. Lovecraft's short stories and Wuthering Heights. Lovecraft's incredible, of course, but definitely differs from Ms. Alcott's style. Wuthering Heights... oh, what CAN one say about a book that was considered too pagan for even the most shameless englishman to read? I loves it.

Ooh, and To Kill a Mockingbird. That was an awesome book.

I also loved Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. I think that's it.... but I can't be sure.

Wait!!! I forgot Edgar Rice Burrows!! I loved his books too...

Thanks! my list is so long now....how will I ever get through all of these? xd

[The Sycamore Lady]

I see Jane Eyre on here a lot, but I thought Charlotte Bronte's "Villette" was the better novel - at least I liked it better, and I wasn't so angry about the end. I thought the protagonist made a much better decision and was as equally endearing and relateable as Jane. If you end up liking Jane Eyre, you might like Villette even more!

I'm about half-way through Pride and Prejudice. It's...alright.

I'd recommend Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. One of my favorite classics!

Tender Is The Night by F Scott Fitzgerald
This Side of Paradise by F Scott Fitzgerald
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
War and Peace Leo Tolstoy
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
The Tropic of Cancer/Capricorn by Henry Miller
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier* (if you enjoy Jane Austen type books, this one is a must.)

I can't think of anything else at the moment since everyone's pretty much mentioned everything, ah well.

[Death To Clowns 05]

I'm a little surprised noone said Flowers In The Attic.. But at the same time, I'm not.
I quite liked it. It's kinda a touchy subject for some people because it deals with incest but if that doesn't bother you, I would suggest it. Try the rest of the books in the Flowers In The Attic series as well.
