Yes of course "Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger, was the first book I came to think of before I saw your suggestion. "Grapes of Wrath" and "Mouse and men" by John Steinbeck, great favourites of mine.Luckily enough the world are full of books from the ancient Rome and Greece to Shakespeare and so on for those who love that.You asked my favourite book so I add one which is not considered classic yet, but will be it some day (I´m sure) and that´s: Angela´s Ashes by Frank McCourt. It´s a book that has won the praise of critics and the hearts of readers.A both hilarious and heartbreaking memoir. Hope you read it and enjoy it, if you haven´t read it already.

"Catch 22," "The Last Mission," " A Killing for the Hawks," "On My Honor," " Where the Red Fern Grows," - Expect for Catch 22 and Where the Red Fern Grows, I'm sure not too many people heard of the other 3. Not that they are the best books in the world, but they were good reads, had allot of depth, and stayed with you long after you put the book down - all requirements that, I feel, a book needs to posses to be deemed a classic.

Slaughterhouse Five, Catch-22, and The Grapes of Wrath.
As for really old classics, give me anything by Shakespeare.

Dante's Divine Comedy - yes, of course I liked the Inferno the best, but the rest is nearly as good
