Classic Literature - we ain't talking Tom Clancy here!!!!

So I thought to myself, do we have a thread to discuss any classic works that someone may have read. I have to be in the mood, but I will tell you that some of the "older stuff" is far better than anything today. This thread is basically a place to post what you have read and or what you would like to read from classic literature. And hopefully, we can get some discussion going.

Things I have read:

Spoiler:

there is bound to be things I have forgotten (like William Shakespeare)

So what about everyone else???

I've read The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway
