MPL Readable Fiction Classics - Page 3

A list of readable fiction classics from Madison Public Library -- A classic is a work of enduring interest and appeal in which successive generations can find some truth that will not stale. Readable narrows our selection because although a classic, by our definition, has appeal, it may require a reader's determined effort to discern it. We call readable those books whose appeal is immediately apparent and continues throughout.
