Top Ten Tuesday is an original blog meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week the topic is “Top Ten Favorite Classic Books (however you define classic) or Top Ten Classics I Want To Read <or spin it some other way…”classics” in a specific genre?>”. Yes, the last book is kind of a cheat, but I couldn’t very well make a list like this without my Edgar Allan Poe.
Top Ten Favorite Classics:
What are some of your favorite classics?

I really need to read Frankenstein and Fahrenheit 451. I love Edgar Allan Poe, both his short stories and poems. Great list.

That book had a profound effect on me when I read it years ago.

Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I forgot Night when I was creating my own list. That book made me cry like none other, especially the part with the little boy and the noose. (I don’t want to go into too much detail and leave spoilers.)
I really need to read To Kill a Mockingbird. I feel like the only person who hasn’t read it yet. Haha.
Thanks for sharing. 😀

My history teacher’s constant raving about Night has piqued my interest in the story. It sounds like a terrific classic!

Oh, I loved TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and that court scene was GREAT. I’ve been meaning to read Poe’s work ever since seeing THE RAVEN. Thanks for stopping by!

Yay for Frankenstein and Pride and Prejudice! I’ve never read the complete works of Poe, only a few stories – I really should read them all, especially as I really liked the ones I did read.

You’ve got some great books on your list which I know wish had made it onto mine. Plus I love the cover of the Edgar Allan Poe book. Cool but creepy!

I like your list, can’t argue with a single choice, I would have found a place for, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tale of Two Cities on mine. Used, Night and, To Kill a Mockingbird in my classes for years.
