Good classic books
What are some amazing classics? I'm thinking along the lines of Pride and Prejudice or A Tale of Two Cities. (But not those because I have already read them... i love them.) I need ones that I will thoroughly enjoy reading.

Hmm..
I agree with The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye, but there's also:
The Sun Also Rises
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Scarlet Letter
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Great Gatsby
or
The Catcher in the Rye!
-These are both very meaningful and well-known books.

"The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas is thoroughly amazing, arguably Dumas' best work. Also definitely read "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. "Lazarillo de Tormes" is a very funny book, and well worth tracking down. And if you want small, easy to digest bits of weirdness, read Edgar Allan Poe.
Hope this helps.

"1984" and "Animal Farm" (Both by George Orwell) are very solid classics. If you like them, you may also enjoy "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. All of the above titles deal with deep issues on government and morality, if you're into that kind of thing.
