Five for Friday: Classics

To say me and classics don't tend to get along would be a bit of an understatement. About 8 times out of 10, I won't enjoy a classic (and no, I don't know why that is, it just is). So these five classics are properly good ones. (And yes, I did have to refrain from reccing 5 Jane Austen novels.) Pride...

I figure the best way to get through...
