Give me the title of a really good book, please?
M asked:
I’m not really into science fiction/fantasy. I usually go for the classics. I want something that will keep me really interested. Any ideas? Or maybe you know of a series that’s really good?

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Walden; or Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
On the Road by Jack Kerouac

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
1984 by George Orwell
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Gone With the Wind by Margret Mitchell
I hope you find something you really enjoy on this list!
The Great Gaspy
One I really like is Journey to the Center of the Earth. It kept me entertained on a plane ride, and was really interesting. If you like things leaning towards more geology and biology type stories, I’d definitely recommend this one.
Classics that I have loved:
Tale of Two Cities
Three Musketeers
Lorna Doone
Ivanhoe
Pride and Prejudice
Audrey Rose by Frank De Felitta
It’s about a little girl that died in a fiery car accident being reincarnated. It’s a very good book….I just can’t remember much about it.
I love the classics also . This book is not yet a classic but it wiil be . “One Thousand Years of Solitude ” I have never before or ever since read a book like that . It is truly unique . I’m sure that you will enjoy it as much as I did . READ IT !!!!
Read Parable of The Sower by Octavia E. Butler. It’s very interesting! It’s a science fiction story though, but not the typical kind. Believe me, you’ll love reading this book.
But the best thing to do is to go to the book store and pick up a book that you think is interesting. Personally, I randomly choose a couple of books and read them. That way I’m not influenced by the name of the author, or the reviews they’ve gotten
Water for Elephants. It is brilliant.
The Road. Also brilliant.
Very nice to know some future classics are appearing in the muck.
