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?
J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye is a good place to start, because it's such an easy read. However, my personal favourites are probably Maurice, by E. M. Forster, and Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell.
Doctor Zhivago, by Boris Pasternak, is also a very good story, but also quite tedious at times. Ultimately well worth the read, I think.
