Tell me what 'classics' are worth reading. I read plenty of books, but I'm sure /lit/ would shit all over my choices.

I'm making a list and so far I have Frankenstein, 20,000 leagues under the sea, journey to the center of the earth, and moby dick.

Suggest more you literate faggots.

The Count of Monte Cristo is a personal favorite.

Otherwise, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Dracula.

Pride and Predjudice is basically the ur-romantic novel. I am a straight guy and enjoyed it, so I'd say that it's worth a read no matter who you are.
