Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe might be my favorite classical literature of all time. Something about the narrative writing style combined with the themes of the book resonate with me every time I read it.

About 4 years ago, I read Animal Farm. I've never been a big fan of Classics but that one always interested me.

I have not read a classic recently.
I am not sure if sherlock holmes count as a classic, but I read it somewhere earlier this year.

Classics will always be my heart’s favorite. My shelf is full of them. I love the different philosophical ideals in each unique book I read. Also, the languages that the author used made me widen my vocabulary.

I read and reread classics frequently, whether from literature or philosophy. The last book I read that could be considered a "classic" was Plato's Republic.

I read Pride and Prejudice back in November, my main reading goal for this year is to start reading, or rereading, more of the classics!
