Hi, I've bought fresh copies of several classical literature titles this summer in hopes of moving some students along from the typical genre of YA novels to a more challenging form of reading. I've bought a variety of works from philosophy to ficlit (is that a word?) and so on. The problem? I've never read the classics other than a touch of Dickens and the obvious easies like Mark Twain. I need to be familiar with these works in order to sell them to the students. Any suggestions on what I might read first to move myself up from the popular adult stuff I read into these classics? Maybe a required list you read in high school or college-or that your students now read?
