Is there a classic you haven't got around to reading yet?

Don Quixote. I ordered it from Amazon and now it's arrived I still haven't read it.

Well worth your time. I first read it in 9th grade... my English teacher (who I had a crush on) lent me her own copy. It took quite awhile to get through it but I liked it.

I am never going to read Proust and I have come to terms with that and don't feel guilty anymore.

I've tried a couple of times, but just haven't been able to get into it.

I have not read anything by Tolstoy yet, but I would like to. I'd probably try and read Anna Karenina before War and Peace, though.
One of my favorite books. I've read it several times!

The Odyssey. Halfway thru it!!!

Antiquated now I think. Try Javier Marius, if you want to read Spanish modern classics.

Paradise Lost

@Rolexeo I couldn't get through the first 10 pages of that one. Too many words and references I didn't get.

@twistedrope i dont think its necesary to know but i could be wrong, theological concepts?
You name it, I haven't read it. And never will. The same goes for most of the "great" movies - the ones that win all kinds of awards.

More Dostoyevsky
peterlee · M
@DearAmbellina2113 Yes, difficult to read. Better keep a note of the names though. A character has three. And Dostoyevsky flicks between them at will.

@peterlee I've only read The Idiot, and I loved it. I'd like to read more of his work.

@DearAmbellina2113 Try The Brothers Karamazov, but take it slowly.

Most of Charles Dickens' works.

@seasonedspirit Thank you.

I shall put it on my list of books to read.

@QCDog2659 @seasonedspirit i second this recommendation
peterlee · M
@QCDog2659 Forced down me at school. There are other fine Victorian authors, like Trollope. And a little later, Thomas Hardy. Also I came to Zola late.
Wuthering heights.
