Classics Actually Worth Reading

This is my favorite Jules Verne book

A masterpiece to say the least. Get a version that is translated in couplets because you need to read it with the intended rhyming

This book is awesome! a must read for any fantasy, king arthur, or 16th century writers fan. This is what started it all

This book was great, a true classic. It is a bit depressing at times (even at the end), but it is also is the basis for so many other stories and plots. The old black and white movie is nothing at all like the book. Apparently there is a newer movie that follows the book a little bit better, but I know for sure that the old black and white one shares about 2% of the same material if that. If you are a reader of classics this is a must.

First off, I had seen the movie as a kid and had thought it was pretty cool. After so many years I forgot what it was like and decided I should read the book. This book is awesome. A book that made it to being called a "classic" for a reason. I watched the movie again and was sickened at how they ruined such a wonderful story. They turned prude Victorian females into disgraceful characters.

I loved this book. Mark Twain writes amazingly. It is cool to hear about how a guy goes back to 500bc and is the smartest guy around. It is cool to read the writings styles of the 1800s and 500s in the book. Based off of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur

This is some good classic stuff. I remember watching the Disney cartoon and loving it. Turns out the cartoon only follows a few of the chapters, and is pretty off from the book. The actual ending of the Mowgli story is AWESOME. His story is only like the first four or five chapters of the first book. The other chapters of the first book are about a white seal, elephant tamer, mongoose (rikki tikki), and a man who can hear animal speak. It is like a collection of short stories, and is a must for somebody who likes classics and good reads. Some of the stories can be fairly sad at times, but overall these stories are an excellent collection. I really enjoyed these books and think they are a vital piece in my classics collection
