Which one of these classical books to read??

[z0mb13]

So I want to pick up a classic book to read,

which one?

I saw these at barnes n noble today:

Moby dick, huckleberry and finn, tom sawyer, count of monte cristo, dracula, great expectations

All of them

I am disappointed to say that I have read only one of the books in your list - Dracula. It is a great but long book.

I second that.

Dracula is boring beyond belief, perhaps the only book I've ever not finished.

Great Expectations isn't that good.

Tom Sawyer is an easy and pretty good read, Huck Finn is more difficult (not very much so) but very good.

Moby Dick and Count of Mente Cristo I have no opinion over (haven't read them).

My recommendation is to read the Mark Twain books.

 

[Whisper]

Hrmm...if I had to choose, I'd say Great Expectations or Moby Dick. Gotta get around to the latter sometime soon myself.

 

[xeno2060]

Moby Dick would be an exellent one to start with.

 

[DaWhim]

did you see the movie Troy?
start with mythology, I like it.

 

[MBony]

Either Huck Finn or Count of Monte Cristo.

Out of your choices you can't go wrong.

I think im gonna pick up count of monte cristo

I liked the movie, I hope the book is better!!

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

Monte Cristo! Makes for an interesting read....I found Huck Finn incredibly boring as was Great Expectations! Good books, from an academic point of view IMO.

Huck Finn

 

[Steve]

Tom Sawyer, then Huck Finn. Though the latter (I think) has a lame ending.

Next, Moby Dick. Then start looking into Faulkner.

 

[MetalMat]

Read "the count of monte cristo". I never read the book but liked the movie

 

[Banana]

Moby Dick probably has the 'deepest' content.

Great Expectations and Huck & Finn belong on everyone's must-have-read list.

 

[DaveSimmons]

I've read most of Mark Twain's novels and short stories and liked them, but never got around to Sawyer or Finn. Just being contrary I guess

 

[Mandos]

Huccleberry Finn is great.

 

[gotsmack]

in Moby Dick, does the whale die? I read the summary and its not clear.

 

[thebenjamins]

the prince and candide.

[PatboyX]

they are all awesome novels.
i really like moby dick and great expectations.

 

[GroundZero]

count of monte cristo

 

[atom]

I like the Twain books. Then Moby Dick next.

GE wasn't my favorite Dickens novel and Dracula was just average. Never read Count......
