    ... I'm defining classic somewhat loosely because there are so many non-classic that I'm tempted to add. But I'll stop.

    Edited: I couldn't help myself. I have to add The Faerie Queene.

    I wasn't sure either but if it does, it makes my list! (I was trying to reply specifically to the person asking about Gone With the Wind and messed it up :)

    Pretty much every book I've read was brilliant in some way (there are a few exceptions to that for *sometimes* personal reasons). I love reading.
    One that I'll always go back to though is Five Little Peppers and How They Grew. Amazing book.
