What are your favorite classic books?

Yeah it kind of is. I love anything Jane Austen. I love Pride and Prejudice and Emma. I also love To Kill a Mockingbird although idk if it is an actual classic.

I love love love love Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights. Have you guys read A Tale of Two Cities? I really wanna read that!

I haven't read it but I want to. I started reading it but it was overly descriptive so I got a headache. I will definitely read it though just so I can understand what the heck Tessa and Will are talking about in TID.

That's excactly why I wanna read that! From the moment they started talking about this book I was like "I am reading that too!" :P

Haha same. I started reading it for a school project but it was 500+pages on my iPad and was way too descriptive. I decided to slack off on the "Read a Classic and write a book report" so I switched to a shorter Jane Austen novel. I will go back and read A Tale of Two Cities though!

Mine would have to be Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glassand The Phantom of the Opera.

The outsiders, read it in school.

READ To Kill a Mockingbird!!! It was wonderful! Truly a great classic!

I loved that book!!!!

A few of my favorites: Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Les Miserables, and The Odyssey.

I think The Catcher in the Rye and The Bell Jar are my favorite classics.

Pygmalion I loves this book. Its one of those books you have to read out loud.

To Kill a Mockingbird, Pride and Prejudice, Lord of the Flies, and A Separate Peace are all surprisingly good for classics.

Jane Eyre is my very favorite, but pride and prejudice is a close second...

For some reason I couldn't get through Jane Eyre. My mom told me to read it because it's her favorite book but I couldn't get more than 100 pages in.

The fist half is kinda boring, put if you push through it and get to the part with Mr.Rochester it gets WAY better. It makes me cry.... every time.

Sammmmeee and I haven't even read the legit book,
Just the illustrated classic.
And I saw the movie.

Maybe I'll give it another try, but I have a lot of other books I want to read right now.

HAE you read TMI by any chance

You HAVE to read Jane Eyre. I've read it like five times and I still LOVES it!
Like not as much as modern books, but still.

I have not read TMI yet, but it's next on my list of books to read. My sister is obsessed with TMI, and now she has made me want to read it.

YOU MUST OMG <333333

How can you not have read TMI?!!!!!!!!!! YOU MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel very strongly about this.

SAMEEE

I know right Dom?!!!!!!!!!!!!! BESTIST BOOKS EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know. I wanted to read TMI this summer but I was so busy working and doing AP summer work that I never had a chance. But I intend to start City of Bones this weekend!

WOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Idk if Simon's your type, you're probably ((*sigh* like most)) a Jace girl, Simon is very... Underappreciated.... BUT HES MY FAVORITE AND THE BEAT AND HE'S SO CUTE AND HOT AND SWEET AND LOYAL AND DEDICATED AND GEEKY AND FUNNT

YES ALRIGHT! WOOHOO!
What are we talking about?

TMI, lolol

From how my sister described him, Jace sounds more like my kind of guy. But maybe I'll like them both...

Will is one of Jace's ancestors.... Kay that sounds all weird and awkward but.....

I LOVE WILL. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. HE'S SO SAD AND BROKEN BUT NOT ALL POUTY

I want to read the Mortal Instruments. I think I'd like Simon, but my sister thinks he's an idiot.

IKRRR AHHHHHH
HE'S SO PERFECTTTT
and ha, Simon is exactly EXACTLY my type it's so scary it's so exact. Like the kinda guy that gets friendzoned, that's my type. The poor guys <333

OMG LEMME AT HER

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE SIMON?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It goes against the laws of nature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell your sister she is an awful person :D

Woah! Don't worry. She posted a comment about it, and lots of people were not happy about that...it became a huge debate.

I'm the sister... awkward.

Yeah....

Sorry. I'm sure your an awesome person.... Just confused.

And I am Abby's sister too...

LIKE A CONFUSED AWESOME PERSON.

She's the reason why I want to read TMI, so she's not THAT awful of a person.

All three of us are sisters!

Cool Kelly. That is exactly what we're doing! :D

*gives teary hug* I'm sorry if I offended you!!!!
I'm sure you're wonderful, just not right about SIMON!
(but that's okay because I'm wrong about the majority of everything else :D)

Same room, Kelly. Even better. :)

And none of us are talking about Classics...
