Shakespeare's Othello, actually any thing by William Shakespeare, I did enjoy Milton's Paradise Lost, however.

After reading Homer's Iliad I was impressed at the power of literature. The repeated images of the warriors impaled by spears, or killed in other ways, made me think how these violent images today could not captured on TV or film. If they were, it would be an X - Rated movie. This is itself is enough to validate reading classical literature - and leaving TV or the movies for the kiddies...

I have several I like; Faust is excellent, and right now I'm enjoying reading Dante's Inferno. I'm planning on reading Paradise Lost as soon as I get some free time, which is exciting :D
I think my absolute favorite, however, is War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.

I have so many!!! Right now I'm really enjoying The Cloister and The Hearth. My second time to read it. I've read Little Women about 12 or 15 times and The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy many times. And then there's Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre and a host of others. I tend to prefer the old, old books. 19th century books.

East of Eden, if you allow John Steinbeck into these ranks.
If not, A Tale of Two Cities.

personally, i am quite a fan of huckle berry finn. As a child i read it and it was a great adventure story, but i recently read it and saw it for its satyrical aspects, and it just adds to the overall goodness of the book. and the hardy boys. That is a good series
