I love Pride and Prejudice:)
ReplyDeleteJane Eyre is my favorite, hands down. Every time I read it I discover something new about Jane, and myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of all time is To Kill A Mockingbird.
ReplyDeletePride and Prejudice would definitely be my favorite, I've loved Mr. Darcy since the first time I read it in 7th grade. lol
ReplyDeleteWhoa...this is awesome!! classic is definitely my favorite. I love love love all Jane Austen's book. Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, North and South, I had read and collected them all. But get another copy of Jane Eyre would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank u for this giveaway :)
My favourite is Jane Eyre of course!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is either Animal Farm or To Kill a Mockingbird. Oh, and I love the Importance of Being Earnest, but that is a play.
ReplyDeleteMy two favorites are Jane Eyre and To Kill A Mockingbird. I'd love to win a copy of Jane Eyre (I still don't own my own copy) and re-read it. Thanks for the giveaway~

My favorite is Pride and Prejudice!
ReplyDeleteTHE RETIRED BEAR - Inuo Taguchi
ReplyDeleteThe storm gone,
the purple sky showed through.
The bushes began pulsating vigorously.
Smoking a cigar, an old man, become a bear, complained,
“Life didn’t use to be so difficult.”
There was a fireplace beside the old man,
and the flaming wood, thinking this a good time,
was crying out in admiration
and talked for quite a while.
But the old man kept silent.
The old man was reading
but just what, was unclear
because it was hidden by his paws.
Turning pages was very difficult.
His claws caught in the paper
and scarred it, like a child's knee.
In the kitchen a soup with potatoes and duck
cried out in joy.
It was a voice he had often heard.
After a bit the old man invariably mumbled to himself,
“Everyday at this time I have the auditory hallucination of a passing train.”
But it isn’t really a hallucination.
The old man cut the telephone line,
for he did not trust telephones.
“Only the voice is here but the person is over there.
I don't want to have contact” he said,
“with such clever people.”
Even so, he doesn’t think he has become
an inept bear.
But here where winter is long and people know only early summer,
maybe being just a bear is good enough for him.
A bird sang in the distance.
The old man soon recognized
that it was a wood thrush.
“If my nephew were here I could tell him so,”
he slowly mused.
Yesterday was his birthday.
Lol - Wha?! What a funny old man bear!
DeletePersuasion by Jane Austen. Thank you for the international giveaway,
ReplyDeleteMiltiadou Kristia.
My favorite is Persuasion just like Kristia who commented before me. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the hop and for the giveaway opportunity.
I'm re-reading BLEAK HOUSE by Charles Dickens right now. It's always surprisingly funny in parts.
ReplyDeleteIt's completely unoriginal, but my favourite literary classic is "Pride and Prejudice." "Emma" comes as a close second, though.
ReplyDeleteThe first classic I loved was Of Mice and Men...I promise it's not because it's a super short book. And I also loved Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the awesome giveaway!

A Tale of Two Cities
ReplyDeletePersuasion by Jane Austen
ReplyDeleteWuthering Heights and Dracula are my top favorite classics, closely followed by North & South and Jane Eyre!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Wuthering Heights :) it's just sooooo good.
ReplyDeleteWuthering Heights and Dorian Grey. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
Thanks for joining the blog hop and for the great books. To be honest, I haven't heard of George MacDonald so it would be really nice to try him out. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite classic... I think probably Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.
Jane Eyre is my favourite. I'm glad that you love it too! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Great Gatsby - Fitzgerald.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the amazing giveaway!

ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, Jane Eyre is my favourite! I've been rereading every few years since before I was a teenager, and there are passages I know by heart. =)
My old copy may be falling apart, but I don't really need to replace it, so I guess I'm entering for a George MacDonald book! (It's about time I learned what happens to Irene and Curdie after that incident with the goblins, aye?) Thank you for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway! I love George MacDonald's fantasy novels. :) But my favorite classic is actually Villette by Charlotte Bronte.
ReplyDeleteI just loved Memoirs of a Geisha! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOhhh definitely William Shakespeare!
ReplyDeleteCrime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the giveaway!
I think I would have to pick To Kill A Mockingbird. That was the first classic that really struck me.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn! Thank you for the giveaway :D
ReplyDeletei love pride and prejudice and also jane eyre... :)
ReplyDeleteTo Kill A Mocking Bird
ReplyDeleteMy favorite are the Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite classic is Return of the Native by Hardy. I'd love to have The Fisherman's Lady by George MacDonald -- your review really made me want to read his books (I loved the Princess and the Goblin as a child). Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Great Expectations. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSome of my favs are North & South by Elizabeth Gaskell, Jane Eyre (of course), Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion, Around the World in 80 Days, Ender's Game, etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! If I'm lucky enough to win, I'll choose a George MacDonald book, 'cause I already have Jane Eyre :)
Frankenstein! :)
ReplyDeleteMine is Pride and Prejudice. I've read that book many times.
ReplyDeleteJane Eyre! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite literary classic.... it would be a tie between Romeo and Juliet and To Kill A Mockingbird... or maybe The Canterbury Tales... it's too hard to chose!
ReplyDeleteLisa Hackney
Honestly? I've never read any classics*runs and hides*. I tried reading Wuthering Heights though but I just can't understand what its saying.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh. Wuthering Heights is so psychotic!!! I'm not sure that's the best Classic to start with!!! Lol. Looks like Pride & Prejudice is a favorite - the movies follow some of the dialogue word for word, so it's a fast read, plus Jane Austen tucked so much more into the emotional drama - if you read the book, the movies are so much better!! Deliciousness!!
DeletePride and Prejudice! I love the movie too!!
ReplyDeleteJane Eyre is my favorite.

A Tale of Two Cities!
ReplyDeleteI love To Kill a Mockingbird. I have actually never read Jane Eyre (don't know why, I guess because I didn't have to read it for school) so I should probably read it.
ReplyDeletethe imagine tree at aol dot com
My favorite literary classic is Little Women! I LOVE Jane Eyre, too! As a matter of fact, I no longer own my copy of Jane Eyre! It's GONE!!! It would be AWESOME to have this book again! I WOULD read it AGAIN, too!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this giveaway!
