Worthy "Classic" Novels
Aurjay:
I dropped out of high school before we ever had any required reading beyond Where the Red Fern Grows. Always bugged me that I missed out on all the discussions of classics and the disseminating of them to the minutest detail. Then again maybe that ruined some of the books for people that would rather just be caught up in the moment of reading and not have it broken down. Either way I took it upon myself to "catch up" as much as possible and some of my favorites are Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Jungle, Fahrenheit 451, A Farewell to Arms and of course On the Road is my all time favorite.
Spluff:
Catch 22 is unflinchingly brilliant.

TheFuriousWombat:
Frankenstein is a snooze, sorry to say. Moby Dick is easily one of the best things ever written in English. Along with Paradise Lost, that is. As for those fur'ners, Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is absurdly masterful.
Dazed:
I had to read The Stranger, Cat's Cradle, Brave New World, and Frankenstein among others my senior year.
That was a good year for english, I'd recommend all of those, but especially the Stranger and Cat's Cradle. Like, cannot recommend them strongly enough.
