Classics

[qos]

Which "classics" have you read that actually made a strong impression on you, and/or had a significant influence on you? Which do you keep in your library because you truly want to have them at your fingertips to read -- or at least dip into -- again and again?


ETA: Lists are great, folks -- but what I'm really interested in is why and/or how these books touched you in such an important way.

Jane Eyre. I like the story of Jane and Mr. Rochester and how they ended up together, against all odds. It appealed to my desire to be rescued from an unloving, cold, lonely world by the validating love of another, powerful person.
