Classics?

What do readers consider classics? Lately I have been reading almost all YA lit and have notice that classics are often alluded to in YA books.

I decided that my next read will be Wuthering Heights because in Eclipse, Bella reads the book over and over. Is it because she and Edward are like the characters in Wuthering Heights? I have to finish Eclipse first, but then I am definatly on to Wuthering Heights to find out more. I had a little hiatus from reading to complete my grad school work, but hopefully between preparing to move, Christmas shopping, and attending to an almost 4 year old wild- child, I'll have some time to read!

Do you like classics? What do you consider a classic? What's your favorite classic?

hi Ms. Hinger,
OK classics is what u asked for so.... I guess that i consider LOTR and To Kill a Mockingbird classics and other books like Pride and Prejudice and Watership Down are also classics. Then there are lots of books that will and or should be classics that really aren't yet. Like Harry Potter and The Golden Compass. And this is only my opinion!
