Classic -- as in ancient?
Then the most common theme is Gods making it hard for men to live well.
Examples:
The Bible
The Iliad
The Odyssey

My favourite is when they include multiple choice answers. That makes me laugh so hard. Another dead give away is when they flat out say they need help with their homework, but then include the information that they have not read the book. *face palm* I also love it when they want chapter summaries for every chapter. I think the home work questions are getting a little ridiculous. They were bad before, but it seems that with each passing month more and more thinly veiled home work questions pop up in B&A. UGH. =(
