Best of the classics

I have a big birthday coming up and plan to ask friends/family for a classic book in hardback from each so that they can write a little message inside for me to keep. My favourite book is Wuthering Heights, so I have asked for that already. What else can I ask for? I don't like books that are very long, or horribly sad/depressing, so that probably rules a few out. Was think of Great Expectations perhaps, as another one.....

Cranford. Is a lovely read

And the TV series is one the best adaptations of a classic novel ever made. The only other adaptations I can think that compare are the Charles Dance adaptation of Bleak House and the 1970s adaptation of I Claudius.
