I would have to say mine is Robert Louis Stevenson because he wrote two of my favorite books, "Treasure Island" and "The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"... but I also really like Alexandre Dumas' "Count of Monte Cristo".

Tough question, Suzie. There are so many great authors that it is hard to pick one, or two, or ten, or a thousand great books from the classics.
The suggestions given are all very good, but you must decide what you want to read. The suggestions make a great starting point, however. But read what you want. If you don't like a book, put it down. I have done that many times and come back to it later, and really enjoyed it. Or sometimes I never did enjoy it.
Keep reading. . . It will change your world!

Alexandre Dumas, in my opinion, is unparalleled as a writer. So many of his books are fabulous-i highly suggest the musketeer cycle- he was also larger than life and his memoirs are a fascinating read. He's also witty and infinitely quotable.

Dostoyevsky - The greatest ever!
I also quite enjoyed Stevenson and Dumas when I was a child :)

My favorite classical author is the one that spoke to my heart the most and she is Anna Sewell. She only wrote a novel about a horse, "Black Beauty". She gave an impressive perspective for the emotions and psychological mechanism of the horse. she gave intelligence to a foriegn mind and speech to a twisted tongue.

Mine is George Orwell. His 'Animal Farm' has been widely regarded as a great political satire of absolute/communist power (he noted it's a fairy tale, be not serious while reading, in other words, don't think too far in relation to any country).

Wordsworth and Coleridge for their poetry. Wordsworth for the personal Prelude, and Coleridge for his mysticism. Of course, they are considered opposites of 'classical' in that they are Romantics, but what they wrote have become 'classics.'
