Answer 3

Count of Montecristo by Alexander Dumas.The hero is Edmond Dantés, a young French sailor who, falsely accused of treason, is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of Château d'If. After staging a dramatic escape he sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge, with Dantés, believing himself to be an `Angel of Providence', pursuing his vengeance to the bitter end before realizing that he himself is a victim of fate.The author did a great job describing the emotions of the prisoner.Disbelief,denial,self pity,madness,apathy and finally hope.For God's sake don't see any of the movies based on the book.They don't do justice to the book.

The three musketeers by Alexander Dumas.The three musketeers have become symbols for the spirit of youth, daring, and comradeship. The action takes place in the 1620s at the court of Louis XIII, where the musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, with their companion, the headstrong d'Artagnan, are engaged in a battle against Richelieu, the King's minister, and the beautiful, unscrupulous spy, Milady. Behind the flashing blades and bravura, in this first adventure of the Musketeers, Dumas explores the eternal conflict between good and evil.Be warned.This book does not have a happy ending.The heroine dies at the end.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.In Dickens' tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser is shown his past, his present, and if he does not change, his future.The first ghost reminds him how he once enjoyed life's pleasures. The second ghost shows Scrooge his current deplorable state. The final ghost foretells the likely outcome of his skinflint ways.

Answer 4

It's very long, but I think the best book ever is _Middlemarch_ by George Eliot (a pseudonym -- the author was a woman). It is a great story (actually several intertwined stories) about engaging, interesting characters. It's also philosophical in the sense that it takes on the big issues of how people figure out what to do with their lives, exploring the struggles of idealism, religious values, love, money, ambition -- everything!

Answer 5

Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte
The Three Musketeers, Alexander Dumas
The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien
Winnie-the-Pooh, A.A. Milne (hey, it's a classic children's novel!!)
Camille, Alexander Dumas fils
Lost Laysen, Margeret Mitchell
and not a classic, but still really, really good, The Bride of Stone by Thomasa Williams

Answer 6

Nearly all literature will have "teaching" but it can be different according to what type of book you have in mind. Mysteries and action adventures aren't normally considered classics. Make yourself a list of things you are interested in and take it to any librarian to help you find a book. You will be amazed at what a large and variable number of books that can qualify for your request. Your reading level would also help. There are both large and small great classic books. Good lulck.

Answer 7

Well, if you're looking for a deeply philosophical novel that is an easy read, Anthem by Ayn Rand is your choice.

If you're willing to devote a lot of time to your reading experience--something I suggest--I'd check out Sophie's World by Jostein Gaardner. Sophie's World is a fiction novel but includes the history of philosophy, from Socrates to Sartre.

Answer 8

Stone Cold truth is awesome, and Stone cold really tells you things that you wouldn't even know about if you had not read it, for example before WM XIX stone cold had a heart attack!!!! Goldberg, I'm next is cool too Triple H's book is ok, but its mostly bodybuilding and this random book about wwe wrestlers travveling is funny And those are only the wwe books I've read so far, I want to read Edges and Shawn Michaels books, but i cant find them yet

Answer 9

A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

Answer 10

There are MANY wonderful books. If I were you, I'd pick an author, do a little research on the web about them, then pick a novel that sounds interesting. To make it easy, start with the letter "A." How about Jane Austen? The following is a good place to begin.
