Favorite Classic?

[seka]

Sadly, I didn't read a lot of the classics while in school. So now I'm trying to catch up and read as many as I can. So my question to all of you is what your favorite classics are and why?

Thanks!

EM Forster is a good one. I recently re-read A Room With a View and found it a lot better than I did in high school, probably because I'm older.

If you want a gritty WW1 story, All Quiet on the Western Front is excellent.

(OK, my idea of "classic" is apparently early 20th century.)
