For some reason I’ve been finding myself reading a lot more classics lately. I’m curious, what’s your favorite classic novel? ?

Same! I just got Dracula, Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice.
@Lisa I LOVE Dracula. Pride and Prejudice is one of my sister’s favorites that I still need to read. And I still need to read Frankenstein.
@Shelby I have mean reading to read P&P for years. The others were just because of the fall/Halloween season!
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
@Oscar I love this one too!
Pip had a Dickens of a time 🙂
@Oscar
Facepalm. Head-shake. Groan.
Haven’t read a lot of classics, but I loved Dracula.
Also, The Lord of The Rings.
@Christian I love Dracula too! Haven’t read The Lord of the Rings.
I’ve been meaning to re-read Dracula for a while. I got the sequel the great grandnephew wrote years ago but never read it.
Jane Eyre
Um, yes!!! Jane Eyre is my favorite classic by far.
Wuthering Heights
A clockwork Orange, Gatsby, Crime and Punishment
Gone with the wind, the secret garden, little women, Anne of~
Phantom of the Opera and The Metamorphosis
Catcher in the Rye, lord of the flies, Dracula, The Oddessy, Bridge to Terabithia
Secret Garden and Jane Eyre
@Elise love the Secret Garden. Totally forgot about that one
@Ashley I was SO bummed it wasn’t included in the hundred books on Great American Read
@Elise wow. I cant believe that. It is a great book
Grapes of Wrath, Old Man and The Sea
Catcher in the Rye
The Count of Monte Cristo
Frankenstein
Never cared for classics, until very recently … It must be something in the global brainwashing process ?
Just finished Wuthering Heights.
pride and prejudice, crime and punishment, rebecca, jane eyre.
The Count of Monte Cristo
@Jackie I’ve not read this, but I’ve heard it’s excellent
@Hope It is. Just make sure that you read the unabridged version.
It is one of the best
It’s amazing. Will keep you on the edge of your seat, and Dumas manages a massive story even better than Dickens does.

Jane Eyre
Little Women, Rebecca, Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre or East of Eden. I do this book box, and am about to receive my second box!
https://www.coffeeandaclassic.com/
Michelle Rever, since shipping is $12, what is the cost of the box itself?
I pre-paid for a year at $407.90. but I got the standard plan with the most swag since those extras were always what made me jealous when I watched unboxings. Also, you can choose coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, and can preview a selection and take a pass if it’s a book you already have. So it’s between $30 and $40 dollars a month.

I think I’ll have to say A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I love Christmas though and the fantastical. I think the drama of the experience is great. I try to read it or listen to it every year the week of Christmas.
Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment: requires time and concentration tho ?
Moby Dick was funnier and lovelier than anticipated. Melville was one talented writer ?
I’m just about to start that 🙂
I put it off for years – but it’s really wonderful.
I was the same way with The Count of Monte Cristo, and I’m so happy I read that, because it’s amazing. Looking forward to Moby Dick!
I should check it out. ?
It’s amazing. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through!
