What are some of your favorites?Emilyflint wrote: ↑14 Jul 2017, 13:33 I love classical literature! I own several books and sometimes I just feel the need for one of them. They almost reset my reading. Sometimes you can get so caught up in a series or type of book that you need a break. When that happens I love to pick up one and read it.

(please read as a high five) Right with you! Love them! Though Dumas and Dostoyevsky take me a bit longer, thus I prefer audio books for those...

Agreed. Strange his it helps with writing, but I don't think I'd be half as good if I hadn't read the classics...

Though it seemed like there was a minute portion of the classics people tend to know - Shakespeare is mostly known for Hamlet,Romeo and Juliet, Richard III, and maybe Julius Caesar. They are good plays, but there are so many other plays he wrote with really undiscovered characters. So now my long term reading goal is to find and read the apocrypha of classic authors.
