Classics

I just finished A Tale of Two Cities. I read the last chapters in one setting because the story was coming together and the plot was so thick and I couldn't put it down! This book was a very good book exposing the harsh realities of the Revolution in France. It was so refreshing to read something that I truly did not know what the plot would be - and sometimes was a bit confused throughout the book. And it was also refreshing to read Dickens' unique writing style - so clever. After reading the book I got onto Cliff's Notes website and read some of the summaries of the chapters and the analysis of the characters and realized that I had understood the book quite well! :) Perhaps some day, I'll read through it again. That is what is so cool about classics - by rereading them you discover things that you missed the first time. Kinda like the Bible - an ever alive book. I'm not saying that classics are like the Bible - God's Word is by far more supreme. But you get my meaning.

I guess the next book I'll start is Pride and Prejudice. After seeing the movie, I'm quite ready to read the book. After that - who knows? Any suggestions on good classics you've enjoyed?
