Don't know if you have read it or not but I am currently reading Bram Stoker's "Dracula". It is brilliant. I can not put it down.awelker wrote:Through out my life I have only read a few classical novels, mainly ones that were required to read in high school. Lately I've been wanting to give them a try again but I don't really know where to start.

I also really like Charles Dickens, but I admit I can understand why a lot of people don't. A Tale of Two Cities is one of my all time favorites, you have to read the whole book to like it. You hate it while you're reading it, if that makes any sense. Maybe you;d want to give it try for the sake of it.
Others are Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, Cup of Gold, The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain. All very good classics to my preferences.
