What? No Jane Eyre, no Wuthering Heights? They are the quinticential gothic tales. And how about throwing in Great Expectations?

The Water is Wide is an excellent book by Pat Conroy, based on a year he spent teaching at a small school. Very, very good, kind of sad, but good.

For a good fantasy book I suggest David Clemens-Davies book The Sight. A fantasy where wolves are not shown in a negative light.

nope, sorry Chakal. I did read Great Expectations once, but it wasn't the real one. It was one of those children's adaptations.

I haven't read the first one or the last one. I've read LotR twice, I love it. We had to read the giver in seventh grade. I didn't really care for it.... ::dodges flying objects:: Yipes! Let me rephrase! The book was good, but the ending dissapointed me.

I'd suggest the A&E version. I didn't see the newest one yet, but I've heard alot of it from my friends! But the A&E one is exactly like the book! And I like when they are true to the book!!!

Yea that's what my sister thinks! I stayed up to 3am trying to finish it, cause I just couldn't put it down! It made my cry though, mor like ball! It was just so sad, all of the books I have listed made me cry! What can I say I'm just a drama queen!

If you want fantasy, then I would suggest Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun, Piers Anthony’s Xanth series, and numerous authors - Guy Gavriel Kay, Anne McCaffrey (Pern), Marion Zimmer Bradley (Darkover), Mercedes Lackey, Katherine Kerr, Freda Warrington, Robert E. Howard (Conan), Melanie Rawn, Ursula LeGuin (Left Hand of Darkness in particular is excellent), David Eddings and Raymond E. Feist among many others, and possibly Michael Moorcock (he tends to get a little purple for my tastes, though still enjoyable). Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is one I assume most people on here have read, but if not, then thats another enjoyable option.

In more literary realms, the obvious choices are Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, Joseph Heller’s Catch 22, George Orwell’s 1984, Zola’s Germinal, Stendhal’s Scarlet and Black, various by Dickens (such as the aforementioned Great Expectations), Angela Carter's The Magic Toyshop, Terry Pratchett's Mort, Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queen, Thomas Malory's Morte D’Arthur, and well-known classics like Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Homer’s (though there is still academic debate whether or not he existed) The Iliad and The Odyssey, Virgil’s The Aeneid and Dante’s Inferno from The Divine Comedy (I don’t like Paradiso or Purgatorio much, as Dante got too preachy for me then, though to be fair that is rather the point). At least, that will do for a start. :)

Actually, I'm homeschool and I'm taking a extra class at a co-op that's called "Ancient Literature" and we are using Shakespear, King Auther, The Lord of the Rings, The Illiad, The Odessey, Beuwolf and many others! It's really fun! It's challenging! But I enjoy a good challenge! It's very interesting! So I love fantasy! I am getting to read "Ink Heart" I don't know if any of you have read it, butI would like to know if it is good!! Thanks!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Dirk Gently's Holistic Dectective Agency by Douglas Adams
Two of the greatest humor series ever written.

Wow......Thats alot of books! Yay, books books books!
I LOVE fantasy! I've read some of Xanth (little too risque for me), some of Pern, and some of LeGruin's work (Wizard of Earthsea and another I can't recall. The one where the Priestess girl and the wizard are trying to escapet through the catacombs.) I'm not sure what you mean by things getting purple.
I recognise alot of these titles in the second paragraph. Esp. Mort D'Arthur and The Faerie Queen. Many of them are on my list of "read these you ignoramus!" books. One I didn't see that I have read and think should be there is The Once and Future King by TH White. Very good book.... I've read portions of Illiad and Odessy, what was in our Lit books. My Best friend had to read The Divine Comedy for school. I really do intend to start reading all the old books like this. someday......

Wow......Thats alot of books! Yay, books books books!

I read a lot of them during my undergraduate degree, though I was geeky enough to read some of them purely out of pleasure - Mort D'Arthur and The Faerie Queen, for example, might well be books you'd enjoy if you liked Narnia (I imagine Lewis, considering his academic area, had the former vaguely in mind whilst writing). I'd concur with the TH White (though I must admit, I only read the first one , and a couple of extracts of the latter for essays :) ), and I'd add an American - Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court. In the final year of my BA, I did a module on Arthurian literature, and Twain's book was probably the most enjoyable text out of all of them.

Recently, I've been dipping into the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman collaboration from about 15 years ago, Good Omens, which from what I've read so far, I'd also definitely recommend.

You find Xanth risque? Interesting - that never occurred to me, and I've been reading them since I was about 12, I think. Maybe I just didn't notice it at the time... :p

If you haven't checked it out already, I would highly recommend the Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/) site. Lots of full-text classics available for download, if you don't mind reading off a screen. Bartleby (http://www.bartleby.com/) is another one - these sites have been a great help throughout my studies. :D

I've been meaning to.... See, I heard tell that they were making a movie of it starring Gerard Butler ,*swoon*, and I always like to read a book before I see the movie. Makes it more enjoyable. You'll forgive me if I admit that, though I do want to read it for academic and enjoyment reasons, the driving force is my desire to see Gerard Butler in period dress. ;)

I think the Song of the Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce is pretty good.
Dracula--Bram Stoker
Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs, Emily's Quest--LM Montgomery
Northanger Abbey--Jane Austen
Wicked
The Tower of Geburah--John White
and of course anything by Agatha Christie. i haven't been able to stump her yet.

Have any of you heard of C.S. Lewis? He wrote a series of books called The Chronicles of Narnia which you may find interesting.


heehee, hm.......who is this C. S. Lewis you're talking about? I don't think I've ever heard of him before.....


Yeah I dont think I have ever heard of him either....anybody else heard of him...*resounding NO* thats what I thought

anyway I dont know if these were recomended earlier, I didn't go through and read the whole thing, but.....

Dragonsong by Anne McCaffery is awesome, I started reading it a while ago, but got bored, and when I had to read it I was dreading it because I didn't think I would be able to get through it in the time I needed, but It was so intresting I couldn't put it down, in fact nothing I rememberd was in the book, it was really very strange.

Gail Carson Levine is also very good, she is an awesome writer, I have read all of her books except Dave at Night, and the only one I have been dissapointed in, was 'The Wish' (dont read it, it was like boring, and well all the girl thought about was being popular and getting a b/f!) But Gail wrote, 'Ella Enchanted' 'The Princess Tales' which you can get in 2 volumes or seperatly, and the storys are 'Cinderellis and the glass hill' 'For Biddles Sake' The Fairys Return' 'Princess Sanora and the Long Sleep' 'The Fairys Mistake' and 'Princess Test'

anyway these are really good books!
