Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, they are simply the best classics that have such relevance and resonance even today. Her characters are realistic identifiable and no one is perfect or without a glimmer of humanity. I also love Going Postal by Terry Pratchett I think it's his most cynical and insightful book since Small gods and wonderfully parallels all aspects of our world today.

His\nmother had arranged it before she died. She left Johnny\nwith a silver cup and it was told to Johnny that if ever\nall of his hope were lost, and God has turned away from\nhim, then only should he go to the merchant Lyte and\npresent it to him. Johnny kept it in a chest in the attic\nall locked up. \n \nJohnny was the easiest to teach the art of being a\nblacksmith. He could read and write, and was a fast\nlearner. This made him the most valuable in the family. He\nalways treated the other learners very badly. This is why\none day, they played a trick on him. Johnny and Mr. Lampham\nhad a very important client and they were going to make him\na special bowl for his wife's birthday. Johnny was working\nall week on the handles he was to design.

Yes the Wreckers was a wonderful book by Lain Lawrence. The plot of the novel is very intriguing and deceiving at times. The plot\nof the novel is very\neffective because it keeps the reader interested in the novel through many\ndifferent opinions of\nthe cause of the central conflict of the novel.The setting plays a very important\nrole in developing the\nplot. The setting of the book is very effective and helps to explain the events of\nthe novel.It plays an\nimportant role in explaining why the wreckers deliberately wreck ships on their\nshores. The\ncharacters in the novel are used effectively to deceive the reader in many ways.\nSince, the\ncharacters are not completely described at once, the reader may be deceived by\ntheir actions or\nway of life. THE WRECKERS, by Iain Lawrence, is well written and keeps the\nreader wondering the\ntruth about the wreckers until the very end.

Yes. I taught the novel for several years in high school English (10th grade). Read it. You will love it!!! It is an amazing story of a young boy coming of age in the South at the turn of the 20th Century in a small town called Cold Sassy. Bigotry, prejudice, love, acceptance, and fulfillment are among its themes. I highly recommend it to you.

One only needs to read "Animal Farm" (by George Orwell). On the surface it appears to be just another fairy tale with animals, but it's actually an allegory about the Communist Revolution. The various characters in the book represent real historical figures or organisational entities.

Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" is great. You should also read Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mocking Bird." That is a truly awesome book.

It is not a poem. It is originally from the novel by Charles Dickens,  A Tale of Two Cities.  It is the opening sentence to the novel.  The actual quote is: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.   It is one of the most famous lines in all of literature and quoted very often.  I believe the sentence concerns the French Revolution.
