Well I just finished Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and I'd have to say that asides from the Iliad, it is the best classic I have ever read. I mean, its a story about a mad Russian who murders two women with an axe, and then slowly undergoes soul decay before accepting redemption. An excellant read..I must say. Which is your favorite classic?

I think Chuck Palahniuck (author of the novel Fight Club) writes modern day classics. Survivor, Choke, Lullaby, all these are must reads
