Guest Cerebus The Aardvark Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Well, as far as Stephen King goes, The Stand is the novel that is his most "legendary", since it was so good. The Shining simply had the Kubrick flick. I can go ON and ON listing these, but I'll just fire off a few for now... The Great Gatsby--F. Scott Fizgerald Tender Is The Night--F. Scott Fitzgerald One Hundred Years Of Solitude--Gabriel Garcia Marquez Ulysses--James Joyce Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man--James Joyce Of Human Bondage--W. Somerset Maugham Brave New World--Aldous Huxley Catch 22--Joseph Heller Catcher In The Rye--J.D. Salinger The Sound And The Fury--William Faulkner Old Man And The Sea--Ernest Hemingway A Farewell To Arms--Ernest Hemingway For Whom The Bell Tolls--Ernest Hemingway Slaughterhouse 5--Kurt Vonnegut Animal Farm--George Orwell 1984--George Orwell The Grapes Of Wrath--George Steinbeck Heart Of Darkness--Joseph Conrad Lord Of The Flies--William Golding That's all for now. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cerebus The Aardvark Report post Posted August 8, 2002 A Seperate Peace - John Keats That was John Knowles; John Keats was a poet of the Romantic era. Just saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mad the Swine Report post Posted August 8, 2002 I knew it was one or the other. Probably ain't classics, but a few from the 'true stories' area that are good: Ghosts of Herty Field - John Stegeman (focuses on early UGA football history, but it probably holds true for a lot of schools) Heir to a Dream - Pete Maravich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
