I'm starting to read classics and I was wondering what are easy classics to read.

Like I thought Tarzan was easy

Umm.. You can try Call of the Wild by Jack London or Pride and Prejudice.

Tbh I didn't read Tarzan so I can't tell you from a personal point of view.

The classics that are easy to read are the ones you really enjoy! Which doesn't help you much but I've just had a quick look at your profile and you say that your favourite books are supernatural books so have you thought about trying supernatural classics?

Some ideas are
Dracula - I thought this was easy to read.
The Ghost Stories Of M.R. James - I've read it but didn't think the stories were nearly as scary as people told me they were. I was a little bit disappointed, although they were still good.
Frankenstein - I've read this one and thought it was pretty easy to read.
The Turn of the Screw People seem to either love this or hate it. I haven't read it yet, so I can't comment.
CarmillaI haven't tried this yet, but if you like it, the author has plenty of other books for you to read. This is a good one to start with because it's a novella
The Italian I think I should warn you that some people say this author was anti-catholic and the catholic church, monks, nuns and priests are often portrayed in a negative light in her books. If that would be an issue for you, it's probably best if you avoid her novels.

I hope this gets you started. Have fun exploring!

Jane Eyre all the way <3 (my favourite book ever).

Once you get used to them, The Count of Monte Cristo is awesome. But there's lots of French names, and can be a little trickier. Worth it though :)

And then Cecilia by Fanny Burney - OMG so good!!! Written before Jane Austen, but you can see where that lady got some of her inspiration :)

You could also try Pygmalion or Of Mice and Men. Both are short and easy.

"The Jungle Book" is easy to read

You might try Edgar Allan Poe who wrote in the 19th century. If you are willing to go with 20th century authors try John Steinbeck.

I am adding THE ITALIAN to my list,thank you!

I'm a fan of Frankenstein and Treasure Island.

How about TOM SAWYER or HUCK FINN?
