Classic Convince Us

Classic1_4_07.jpgWe here at Chicagoist have been focusing a little too much on the “new”; new Christmas toys, new TV shows and new books. We’ve been burned lately by the newness, and we decided we want to go back to the standard, something we can count on.

So for this month’s Convince Us, please give us a suggestion of a classic book, a book that holds up as a fine piece of literature. We want a “classic” classic, a Wuthering Heights, a Brothers Karamazov, a Hard Times.

Give us a suggestion in the comments of a great classic novel to read, we’ll pick one, read it, and do a review at the end of the month.
