The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers.
A rpping yarn if ever there was..
When Charles Carruthers accepts an invitation for a yachting and duck-shooting trip to the Frisian Islands from Arthur Davies, an old chum from his Oxford days, he has no idea their holiday will become a daredevil investigation into a German plot to invade Britain.
Great book, good film as well.

Two books immediately came to mind both by Wilkie Collins. The Moonstone and The Woman in White.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

'VIRGIL'S AENID State serving servile bullshit of the highest order '
Quite right. If you want a truly radical take on the ConDem facist conspiracy that was the Augustan state you should try the works of Dave 'Spart' Ovid.

Dunno if it's deemed a 'classic book' but I have read and re-read 'Maneaters of Kumaon' by Jim Corbett umpteen times...all about hunting down rogue tigers and leopards in India between the 1900's and 1930's..nail biting and atmospheric stuff

Son of Sam,
I've read Hunger. Knut Hamsun is my favourite writer. Actually my username is named after the character in his novel Mysteries, which I've read several times.
Victoria and Pan are also great novels of his.

depends on what you can call classic, are we talking Dickens here, or are we talking a book that an individual thinks is a classic?
