Favourite classics

Any dickens

Pride and Prejudice
Emma
Jane Eyre
Children of the New Forest

Wuthering Heights.

Second Emma, as for others there are so many that are excellent depending on what you enjoy reading: Vanity Fair, Villette, Le Grand Meaulnes, Anna Karenina, War and Peace, The Master and Margarita, Portrait of a Lady (original version not revised New York edition), Dracula, Chekhov short stories, Bruno Schulz short stories, Kate Chopin's The Awakening, The Mysteries of Udolpho (great fun), Edmund Gosse Father and Son, Colette's 'Claudine' novels, could go on for a while! Then there are modern classics...

Also Madame Bovary recently re-read the Lydia Davis translation, wonderful.

Oh! I was going to say Father and Son too. I loved that book.
Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Thomas Hardy.

Parisproperty you're the first person I've come across who's heard of Father and Son, I'm so pleased someone else knows and likes it; it's such a fascinating story I don't know why it's not more widely read.

The Count of Monte Christo
The Three Musketeers
The Prince & the Pauper
Animal Farm
Rebecca (although the narrator irritated me towards the end)
The Great Gatsby
Call of the Wild
A Clockwork Orange (the slang used can be tricky to get to grips with, but it's worth it)
Oscar Wilde's fairy tales
The Diary of a Nobody

OP there's another classics thread going on right now with some more recommendations
