To Kill a Mockingbird

I cannot believe I forgot to mention this, but have you read Black Beauty by...Anna Sewell, I think? I used to LOVE that book!

Lolita by by Vladimir Nabokov
extremly controversial
lol

I am reading Dante's Divine Comedy. I cant understand most of it. lol

Recently I read "To Kill a Mocking Bird" and loved it...so maybe you could give it a try...
then.....(and this one's my fav novel so far)... "Gone With The Wind" by Margaret Mitchell...

btw what's the definition of a "classic"? i think old novels that became bestsellers in their time, right? i'm not so sure....

^ It's not being best-sellers because a lot of the classics actually failed when they were released (Wuthering Heights comes to mind) and their literary value was realized much later. I think the general definition of classic varies but at the core, it's a book that typically has a lot of literary features which is admired by critics and presents a social commentary that is subtle.

Hi,

I suggest you some Chinese Classic,such as
Journey to the West Book
A dream of Red Masion
