i'm an avid reader and since i'm taking summer classes for my master's program, i don't get a lot of time to do leisure reading. i recently moved about 50 miles away from the campus so i do a lot of driving to and from home to school and work. one thing that has made the driving more enjoyable is listening to all the classic literature i've been meaning to read since high school. today i finished what is one of my new favorite novels:
"the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde" by robert louis stevenson. having been a psychology major in college, this one blew me away with how awesome it was.
i started on "the three musketeers" by alexander dumas.
others that i've read (on paper) and loved:
"jude the obscure" by thomas hardy
"adam bede" by george eliot
"the hunchback of notre dame" by victor hugo (wildly entertaining).
of course, i've read other classic novels and found them just okay or boring. for all of the readers/literature lovers out there, what are your favorites? any recommendations?

I also adore all of the Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.
