Classics a 20-Something Has Read (Not an English Lit Major) - Page 2

A list of every classic book I can remember as reading as someone who only reads them for fun. I have played fast and loose with the definition of a classic, including children literature and more recent publications (the most difficult to designate as a classic with confidence). There are ones I loved, like Emma, and ones that I loathed (the feast - so much promise, so little delivered). Anyways, how many have you read?
