I have a lot of classics on my Sony and a lot on my bookcase too. They are brilliant to read in between all the modern stuff!

Lynne, great list of reads! Did you like Breakfast at Tiffany's? I can't say I liked it very much...have you read 1984? What did you think if so? How about Portrait of a Lady?

I have both 1984 and Portrait of a Lady to read but haven't got round to them yet. Breakfast at Tiffany's wasn't as good as I had hoped, but it wasn't bad! Iam currently reading The Rainbow by DH Lawrence and She by H Rider Haggard, both on the Sony Reader and Downloaded from manybooks.net

Great list, Lynne! Embarrassing to confess that I have read very few from that list.

To Kill a Mocking Bird, Jane Eyre, Around the World in 80 Days, Emma, Love Story, Catcher in the Rye (Thanks Jo!), In Cold Blood, Lord of the Rings, A Christmas Carol, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I have read Emma and Northanger Abbey by Jane Austin -Forgot about them!

On my DS Lite I am reading Villette by Charlotte Bronte too!

Jo, you should try Lord of the Rings. It's the top book on my favorites list. It's incredible and I totally admire Tolkien for creating such a wonderful saga!

I agree with quite a few on Lynns list but would also add by Tom Sharpe
