    Mine have to be Edgar Allen Poe's short stories...
    I have just bought the entire collection. His poetry's next on the list.

    I've also bought Pride and Prejudice and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall... Are these any good?

    The Once and Future King by T.H. White. I think it was published in the early 60s. Does that count as classic?

    I don't know if this counts as classic, but I love The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.

    I've also gotten The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo, and The Three Musketeers...

    I also read "Voyage au centre de la Terre", which I think is Translated to "Trip to the center of the Earth". 394 pages to learn that they don't go to the center of the Earth... *sob*. T___T;

    Is Tolkien "classic"? If so, I pick him.
