It's genuinely funny, which is amazing considering it was written almost three hundred years ago.</p> <p>I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen, but I know she might not appeal as much to a man. If you only read one of her works, make it Pride and Prejudice.</p> <p>Jack London's books are great. I'd start with The Sea Wolf and then Call of the Wild.</p> <p>The Wind in the Willows is sweet, and might make a great read-aloud for Charlie and Olive.</p> <p>If you're just starting to read the classics, you might want to start with classics written for children, like The Hobbit, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Peter Pan, Treasure Island, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2348019 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 10:20:54 +0000 mrsrain 2348019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little Women (and the others in the series)<br /> To Kill a Mockingbird<br /> Lord of the Flies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2348015 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 10:16:41 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2348015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pride &amp; Prejudice<br /> Sense and Sensibility<br /> Jane Eyre<br /> Little Women<br /> The Lord of the Rings trilogy<br /> The Call of the Wild </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2348012 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 10:14:14 +0000 Ree723 2348012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pride &amp; Prejudice<br /> Gone With the Wind<br /> Rebecca<br /> Little Women </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347998 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 09:53:50 +0000 Miss Sarah 2347998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little Women<br /> Pride and Prejudice<br /> East of Eden<br /> Jane Eyre<br /> 1984<br /> Catch-22<br /> To Kill a Mockingbird </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347987 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 09:31:41 +0000 travelgirl1 2347987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Wuthering Heights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347959 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 08:48:22 +0000 fancyfunction 2347959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Catcher in the Rye<br /> Lord of the Flies<br /> Sometimes a Great Notion </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347949 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 08:39:54 +0000 NCSUchick27 2347949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347948 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 08:38:39 +0000 MoonMoon 2347948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beloved<br /> Confederacy of Dunces </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347939 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 08:31:37 +0000 mamabolt 2347939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cry, the beloved country. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347916 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 07:38:39 +0000 matador84 2347916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Catcher in the Rye </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347888 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 05:06:18 +0000 FannyMae 2347888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Golden: yesss to Jane Eyre.... completely picture Michael Fassbender when I read it now!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-classic-books#post-2347885 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 03:10:20 +0000 lamariniere 2347885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Count of Monte Cristo!
