I must disagree strongly. There is a lot of old crap in the public domain. "Free" and "public domain" do not equal "classic."
C'mon, somebody third Anna Karenins already. We are reading enthusiasts, so we do not fear big books. |

I'll put in a third nomination for Anna Karenina. Haven't read the great Russians since Crime and Punishment back in '70s, so I'm about due. Plus, if I can finish The Wise Man's Fear in nine days this should be a snap, right?

I'll nominate H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. One heck of a true classic SF work.

I'm too lazy to go back and look.. I know WofW has been in polls before. But, has it won? I thought that it did one time?

At least one of those knows The other one is not afraid I would discuss only those few chapters in the second part where he goes to work in the fields. I think those are among the best pages ever written. In any case do not worry. I do not think it will be nominated even. Last edited by beppe; 04-21-2011 at 11:37 AM.

I would like to second "The diary of a nobody" by George Grossmith and Weedon Grossmith.
It is delirious. With images even. There is an edition on line also. |
