1. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain
Read. This book is a really good curl up and read book. If you like light hearted adventures, this could be the book for you. I found this book quite funny, but some of the humour is sort of...well...old. Lol.
2. Adventures of Tom Sawyer Mark Twain
Read I liked this book more than I liked the one about Huckleberry. It's funny, and very entertaining. Tom Sawyer is one of those characters that has the loveable mishceviousness to them.
3. The Æneid Virgil
Never heard of it
4. Age of Reason Jean Paul Sartre
Never heard of it
5. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Lewis Carroll
Read this book twice by myself, and once to my little Sister & Brothers. It's a really good book although if you aren't careful you can get lost in the story. Yeah, seriously. You're almost as lost as Alice is. :P Entertaining book.
6. Through the Looking Glass Lewis Carroll
Read this. I didn't like this one as much as the first one although it was nice to journey back into Wonderland again. Quite boring if you ask me. The story sort of drawled on a bit, but I don't know. That's just me. :)
7. All Quiet on the Western Front Erich Maria Remarque
Never heard of it. I like the sound of it, so this is definitely first on my list to read.
8. The American Henry James
Never heard of it
9. Andersonville MacKinlay Kantor

Read this. This is such a good book! It's sad in the end, but it's kind of funny! Don Quiote is a loveable lunatic. :) One of my all time faves.
42. Dracula Bram Stoker
I want to read this so badly, but I can never get around to reading it!
43. Dune Frank Herbert
Never heard of it
44. Emma Jane Austen
Read it. I love almost all of the Jane Austen books, so this one really didn't take me by suprise. I keep getting her books mixed up though. So I'm not sure which one this actually is, all I know is that I read it and it was good.
45. Ethan Frome Edith Wharton
Never heard of it.
Part one's Honorary Mentions:
Little Women & Little Men By Louisa May Alcott - All time favorite books!!
Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
I'll get around to reading alot of the books I didn't read. Stay around for future classic book reviews. ;) I mainly read only classic books because most of them are content clean. So yeah, classic books all the way. Hm, besides hijab/modesty as the reason, there is no wonder why I act like such a dainty lady. :P May allah bless and guide us all! ~ Nisa

I read Billy Bud and it was painfully boring for me. Beowulf isn't that bad if you like Old English literature--the film was so whack I didn't even think they read Beowulf.
My dad gave me all the Dune books and he thought since the author kinda draws from Islamic things I'd enjoy them. Like, they fight jihads for their muad'dib and it's set on a desert planet and they have this natural resource not available anywhere else. I haven't gotten around to reading them, but I do like the movies.
Asalam wa alykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Malandi,
Thanks for your comment! I'll give Beowulf a shot, but I think Shakespear traumatized me with that jibber jub. I'll also try to check out the Dune books because I don't watch movies that often. Thanks! :P
Waslaam walaykum!
I recommend Catch 22, if you can get past all the repetition of it =|
In the end it's quite a good read though.
Asalam wa alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Ldn.Hijabi,
Thanks for your comment! Insha allah I'll get around to reading it. Before I read it, I'll use trusty old Wikipedia to find out if it interests me or not. :P
Wasalam!
