I Love Classic Literature

Any recommendations? I'm running out of ideas. I wonder which good book am I missing. I don't like Proust. Sorry, I have tried several times.

@artistinresidence i read it twice. Once when I was 17 and did not believe in love, I thought it was ridiculous. Then I read it in my 20s and in love so I was finally able to appreciate better Jane Austin.

ever read anything by [c=#800000][b]john-steinbeck[/b][/c]? lotsa' classics down that aisle … [c=#800000][i]"of mice and men"[/i][/c] … [c=#800000][i]"grapes of wrath"[/i][/c] … [c=#800000][i]"the pearl"[/i][/c] … [c=#800000][i]"east of eden"[/i][/c]. think my favorite was the one about the pearl. of course, many of his works contain hidden meanings … such as what did the pearl represent?

@muffinman I have been wanting to read grapes of wrath but always read something else Instead. Did you like it?

@Misamisa guess it didn't make a big enough impression on me to remember … geeez, even the pearl doesn't jog much of my memory … veritably, i should read it again.
