I used to read a Dickens every 3-4 years, but since I got my Sony, I've been reading a lot more of him and loving it.
I particularly liked 'Our Mutual Friend' - the ending is a little lacking, but the pleasure of reading it was immense. Terrific characters, both serious and comic, and just a terrific pleasure.
I'll also read anything by Sabatini, but I second the 'Captain Blood' recommendation. It's one of my fave books, and one of the few books I actually wanted (and got) a first edition of.
Hard for me to pick just a few classics, as I've read so many and loved so many. There's only a few writers today that I follow with the same devotion I give a Dumas, Sabatini, Austen, MacDonald, or Dickens. Very few.
OK, two.
