(As in I asked what books were classics. I was at the book store yesterday, and the 'Catch 22" looked small. Try that one.)

✿¤·ஐ

i would say The Great Gatsby by F S. Fitzgerald.

Emma by Austen, Jane.

The Stranger by Camus, Albert.

The Red Badge of Courage. Crane, Stephen.

The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne, Nathaniel.

The Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway, Ernest.

A Separate Peace, Knowles, John.

Animal Farm, Orwell, George.

The Catcher in the Rye. Salinger, J. D.

Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck, John.

Ethan Frome. Wharton, Edith.

The Pearl, Steinbeck, John.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Solzhenitsyn, Alexander.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Vonnegut, Kurt.

The Call of the Wild, London, Jack

Lord of the Flies by Golding, William

.....there's much more but these are good i'm familar with them.

notice that i switched the author's name so last name goes first

some of these books are so short they're like 150page or less depends on what version you get, but that doesnt mean it's bad!! they're all classics and i've read like 5....or more actually; ya maybe do a little research on the time period and the author before you read it so that you like it, just dont spoil it though you will get screwed if you find out what happens early on...seriously.

Love In The Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The Sea Gull by Anton Chekhov

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Siddartha by Herman Hesse

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (not sure if this is too sci/fi/fantastical for your purposes)

'The Trick is to keep breathing' was written by a Scottish author whose name escapes me right no. POV of a mental patient. Quite short and very well written. I enjoyed it.

The Turn of the Screw is a kind of thriller, well a Victorian Thriller anyway, also well written and quite spooky in places. And shortish.

Beloved by Toni Morrison is not quite as short but it is a cracking read and deals with the psychological trauma of ex-slaves after the Civil War in America.

Three Muskateers (Dumas)

anything by Jane Austen or the Bronte sisters

Dracula

Frankenstein

whats the topic? and having not known what youve already studied...

- The Great Gatsby - Fitzgerald: is good short, easy to understand and they do it alot in college courses so itd be good.

- Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - also short and is very awesome, and has heaps to write about, could read it in one night.

- Vladimir Nabokov's books are pretty short and good theyre considered 'modern classics': Lolita, Invitation to a Beheading etc, theseare hearder to read though i think.

- Metamorphosis - Kafka - short, another 'modern classic' but probably harder to talk about.

- Salinger - Catcher in the Rye: again, short and easy to understand and write about, also could read in one night.

- Kesey - Once Flew Over the cuckoos nest - easy to read but harder to fully understand, longer but there is so much to talk about. this book is awesome.

- Shelley - Frankenstein - youd probably already know alot about it anyway to talk about it easily.

lol dont read anna karenina longest most boring book i have ever tried to read.

tarzan and planet of the apes are easy reads and considered classics
