Having a tough time picking out the next classics to tackle. Recently completed a few more Charles Dickens. Do you have a favorite? And why?

Quoted from PopBumperPete:

Dune
I did like a series of books, The Magician

Dune... I hadn't come across that yet. I might take that one up. I hear there's a movie remake being done. Would be nice to get the book in before the new movie. I've seen the old one but that was many years ago. Hmmmm. It's got my interest for sure. Thanks!

Guys, these are great recommendations. Some I've read, others I've never heard of. I am looking up every single book. This may end up turning into my pinhead list of books to read. I was struggling for motivation a bit but these recs are breathing fresh air into the issue. Thanks much!

PS:
A Confederacy Of Dunces has caught my eye, seeing how I LOVE catch-22.
I have Moby Dick on the nightstand and haven't made it through yet. Still working on it (been 15 years so far) but on a small (large) break.
Read Catcher in the Rye recently (again). Hadn't since high school.
Yes, quite a fan of Dickens but haven't delved into Doyle yet. I will look into these.
I've never read or experienced a comic book, but am open to it. I've seen them and looked through but never read. My son likes that type of reading sometimes. Will look into it.
Oh, and not ready for Count of Monte Cristo again (or Three Musketeers). That is one of the best in my opinion.

There are others above that look great so really appreciate!

Well that's quite a list. I've looked into many of these. Early on though, Dune caught my attention, and like pinball - once it's got my attention, I must have it! So, Dune it is for this time. I'm going to favorite this thread so I can keep checking these off the completed list. Thanks much all!

now time for a little...

So I started Dune last night. Am very glad I put up this post. It’s just what was needed. Is a genre I wasn’t considering and recommended by likeminded hobbyists. Weird to be excited about a the beginning of a book but that’s how I feel. Usually take me 1/2 way or more through it. Thanks again all!

Quoted from zombywoof:

OP, when you get done with Dune, read Frank Herbert’s White Plague.

Looking into this for sure. Can’t put Dune down.
