Which classic books should I take ?
Hi ,
Since I'm more of a fantasy - scifi reader , I find it difficult to choose 100 classic ebooks as part of the promotion I got (I didn't take any yet...) I would like to get some recommendations from you. Cheers. |

My favourite "classic" author has always been Jules Verne. "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" and "The Mysterious Island" are marvellous and will be two of the first books I put on an e-reader, if I ever get one.

H G Wells is, of course, excellent; his is Sci-Fi with a heart and vision.
Wilkie Collins' "Moonstone", and H. Rider Haggard's whole "Alan Quatermain" series are simply first class. Cheers. |

You can always look them up in Wikipedia if you're not sure.
