I have yet to find any classics I really enjoy. Even Jane Austen, who I adore in theory, bores me in practice. I require in my books a lust and excitement that it seems wasn't appropriate until fairly recently.

I think A Clockwork Orange counts as a classic now. I like that book. Oh, and Heath reminded me about Of Mice and Men. All the other books our teachers forced us to read in high school were boring.

My favorite book series is still the Dragonlance series.
