I think there are a few "classics." Though I suppose it depends on how old a well-recognized book has to be in order to be called a classic. True, only a couple 50+ titles have been named so far. So feel free to add. smile

While I'm posting, I'd like to add Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (by Fannie Flagg) to the list. While it's not a book everyone would like, I think it's something that everyone should read at least twice.

Dracula by Brahm Stoker
Any of the Shannara or Magic Kingdom of Landover books by Terry Brooks
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
Any book by Marion Zimmer Bradley
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
Flatland (I don't remember who it's by)
The Tempest by Shakespeare
Neverwhere and American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Frankenstein by Mary Wolstonecraft Shelley
1984 and Animal Farm (and the author's name just jumped out of my mind)
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Biting the Sun by Tanith Lee
(or Don't Bite the Sun and Drinking Sapphire Wine, they're the same books but Biting the Sun has both books in one volume)

That's all for right now, I'll definitely be adding to my list.

Barry trotter and the unauthorized parody -Gerber, Micheal.
I found this book to be crude and poorly thought out. I couldnt have loved it more!!. Its soo funny, all those HP fans with a good sense of humor should check this out.
