What classic are you reading now?

Please tell me those of you on the internet that you are reading a classic right now! If so, please leave a comment and tell me the following:

a) Title and Author

b) how far along you are?

c) how long have you been reading it?

d) if you have read it before or if this is your first time

e) would you recommend it?

f) do you consider it a classic?

I haven't read a classic in quite awhile, but I am looking to here in the distant future. I have a lot of books that aren't classic yet but I want to read that are ahead of my next classic. Namely I have the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R. R. Martin (that was recently made into an HBO show) that I recently purchased. I also have "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson that my new friend Steve lent me. If you have read any of those books I would appreciate a comment here as well!

Harry Potter the modern day Classic?

How many of you out there would consider the Harry Potter series as classic? I personally would think that the series is classic or that it will be considered classic in coming generations. Your thoughts are appreciated!

Please let me know why or why not you would consider Harry Potter as a series classic or not!

Life does not stop the continued aging of good classics

Whew! What a summer/winter since my last post. I hope in the future to have some time to devote to this blog but the amount of time available seems very low. However during the lapse our beloved classics continue to affect and effect people around the world. What classics have you read recently? Are any of you out there going through a "phase"? If so what is it?

I hope to go through an Edith Wharton phase as I still would like to dive into her work.

Do any of you foresee Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" becoming a Sci-Fi classic? I know I do.

Long Summer

It's been a very long summer for me... not much time for reading. However while I am unable to read I know that there are those out there who are enjoying classics. So, while you are reading your classic please post what you are reading and what (so far) is your favorite part? What do you plan on reading next?
