all of them.old man and the sea, you bet! there was a movie, i think spencer tracy played the part of the old man. i read the posts in the sg. check it out you get a chance. read a lot of them. haven't read a lot of them.
Another great classic is Of Mice and Men...also there is a movie version
I'm not sure how "classic" it is, but I love To Kill a Mockingbird.
Also enjoyed Bram Stoker's Dracula
I liked the Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn stories, too.
I've read a ton of classics. Some are so overrated (or maybe I just don't have refined taste); others were wonderful.
what I find a lot of times with classics is, the writing and the mechanics and the language are beautiful works of art--and then the story just sucks.
Herman Hesse's Siddhartha
the Tao Te Ching
A lot of them..
Anna Karenina by Tolstoj
Wuthering Heights by Bronte
War of the worlds by HG Wells
Brave new world by Huxley
1984 & Animal Farm by Orwell
Little women by Alcott

My all time favorite book is The Devine Comedy. I love Homer's"The Odyssey", Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood"
I like a lot of classic books. Here are some of them:
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Thomas Hardy
Charles Dickens
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Edgar Allen Poe
And of course, Stephen King.
He IS an American Classic imho.
Long days and pleasant nights.
