Is this a contest or something?? Not many for me. If a book doesn't hold my attention, then I can't get into it. Hunchback of Notre Dame Red Badge of Courage Christmas Carol The New Testament The Hobbit Lord of the Rings (parts of) The Silmarillion (dare I say?) Lolita (parts of) Moby Dick Of Mice and Men (various) Edgar Allen Poe ...those are the ones I remember. There's probably more.

I have read 47 of the ones on the list. Very disappointed that Fup was not on the list. And nothing by Kurt Vonnegut, such as Slaughterhouse Five or God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater.

uponeagleswings -> RE: Which classics have you read? (2/23/2008 4:18:34 PM)
From the list: Adventures of Tom Sawyer All Quiet on the Western Front Animal Farm Anthem Atlas Shrugged The Awakening Brave New World Call of the Wild Catch-22 Catcher in the Rye The Chosen Crime and Punishment Cry, the Beloved Country Diary of Anne Frank Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Fahrenheit 451 The Fountainhead Frankenstein The Giver Grapes of Wrath Great Expectations Heart of Darkness Hiroshima Huck Finn Invisible Man The Joy Luck Club The Jungle The Last of the Mohicans Lord of the Flies The Lord of the Rings New Testament Night 1984 The Oddysey Of Mice and Men Old man and the Sea Old Testament One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest (audiobook) Red Badge of Courage The Scarlet Letter A Separate Peace Tess of the d'Urbervilles Things fall apart To Kill a Mockingbird White Fang 46 books out of 139- not too shabby I guess

Apart from the Bible, I have read 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' by CS Lewis. Although I haven't read them from cover to cover - I also sometimes refer to the Psalms commentaries by Charles Spurgeon. I have read loads of Christian books and biographies and keep meaning to make a list of what I have read as well as a 'wish list'. [sm=flagbritish.jpg][sm=icon_smile_fish.gif]

Little_1 -> RE: Which classics have you read? (3/25/2008 1:03:31 PM)
Wow - some of you have read a huge selection! I don't read much non-Christian (but not because I don't rate them - definately not). I will give my reason in another post when I have more time. Happy reading in the meantime. [sm=flagbritish.jpg][sm=icon_smile_fish.gif]

Off the top of my head... Great Expectations Bram Stoker's Dracula The Last of the Mohicans

Final_Fantasy_fan -> RE: Which classics have you read? (3/30/2008 5:00:39 PM)
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer The Call of the Wild Great Expectations The Hobbit The Jungle The Lord of the Rings Pride and Prejudice The Red Badge of Courage To Kill a Mockingbird Uncle Tom's Cabin What about these: Watership Downs Pygmalion Ivanhoe Swiss Family Robinson All Quiet on the Western Front Those are the ones I can think of.

redtulip -> RE: Which classics have you read? (3/30/2008 7:12:53 PM)
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer All the Pretty Horses Animal Farm Brave New World The Canterbury Tales (not all of them) Diary of Anne Frank Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Don Quixote (partially) Emma The Giver Huckleberry Finn Jane Eyre The Lord of the Rings Moby-Dick New Testament The Odyssey Old Testament Pride and Prejudice A Tale of Two Cities Treasure Island Uncle Tom's Cabin I've read 21 off the list. Hopefully when I'm out of school I'll have time to read more. Most of the book I'd read were from either a highschool literature class or a book club I was in during highschool also.

The Call of the Wild The Canterbury Tales The Catcher in the Rye The Color Purple The Diary of Anne Frank The House of Seven Gables Don Quixote Dracula Fahrenheit 451 Frankenstein The Grapes of Wrath Hunchback of Notre Dame I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Jane Eyre Les Miserables 1984 Oliver Twist Phantom of the Opera The Scarlet Letter A Tale of Two Cities To Kill a Mockingbird Walden War and Peace Wuthering Heights Illiad, Odyssey Gone with the Wind Old and New Testament Shakespeare. Own the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe. There are a lot more. I read a lot of these on my own (meaning not forced to for a class). Thought briefly about majoring in lit but couldn't think it would be that useful in real life. Only one I needed Cliff's Notes for was War and Peace because that was a hard one to follow!

Lycea -> RE: Which classics have you read? (4/1/2008 3:37:42 PM)
These are the ones I read from that list, and I think there are some others that need to be added, namely works by Shakespeare, classic poetry, and compilations of folk tales like Pyle's The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Mark Twain The Age of Innocence Edith Wharton All the Pretty Horses Cormac McCarthy Animal Farm George Orwell Anthem Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand Brave New World Aldous Huxley The Call of the Wild Jack London Candide Francois Voltaire Excerpts The Canterbury Tales Geoffrey Chaucer Excerpts The Color Purple Alice Walker Cry, the Beloved Country Alan Paton The Diary of Anne Frank Anne Frank Don Quixote Miguel de Cervantes Dracula Bram Stoker Ethan Frome Edith Wharton Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury The Fountainhead Ayn Rand Frankenstein Mary Shelley The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald Gulliver's Travels Jonathan Swift Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad The Hobbit J.R.R. Tolkien The House of Seven Gables Nathaniel Hawthorne Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain Inherit the Wind Jerome Lawrence The Jungle Upton Sinclair The Last of the Mohicans James Fenimore Cooper Lord of the Flies William Golding The Lord of the Rings J.R.R. Tolkien My Antonia Willa Cather New Testament of the Bible The Odyssey Homer Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck The Old Man and the Sea Ernest Hemingway Old Testament of the Bible Oliver Twist Charles Dickens One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich Alexander Solzhenitsyn Paradise Lost John Milton The Pearl John Steinbeck The Red Badge of Courage Stephen Crane Robinson Crusoe Daniel Defoe The Scarlet Letter Nathaniel Hawthorne St. Augustine's Confessions St. Augustine The Sun Also Rises Ernest Hemingway To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee Treasure Island Robert Louis Stevenson Walden Henry David Thoreau **Excerpts Not on the list: One Hundred Years of Solitude Gabriel Garcia Marquez The Crucible Arthur Miller; The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux; Jude the Obscure Thomas Hardy. There are others, but it has been 11 years since high school, and that is when I read most of these. I used to read books like I ate ice-cream, yum! Need to get back on that track.
