Rokai Yuki Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 [font="Arial"][/font][size="5"][/size] There are a lot of authors out there, but who made the most original and enchanting story of all? C.S.Lewis? J.R.R. Tolkein? Mark Twain? And which one of their stories? It is a question that has baffled men and women for ages. Now, it shall finally be solved.

Supreme Gamesmaster Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy. In all seriousness, probably the Iliad and the Odyssey. Gilgamesh was a bit insane; those two were the first real character explorations in all of history. Ironically, despite the fact that they're the basis of Greek mythology, Homer always seems keenly aware of the fiction he's writing -- to the point where it reads better than most Greek mythology, except that bit where a young Artemis gets curb-stomped by Hera. The two are also as multigenre as Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, from the scenes with the gods to Zeus's masterful (if slightly myopic, though I suppose that's excusable for a deity whose brother runs the Netherworld and can be trusted to play fair with the dead) scheming to the tragedies of Priam and Achilles to the action-packed battle scenes... Yeah. (Note: I really, really don't like Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happybunny gogoboots Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm only speaking personally here so by all means, reject my opinion if you disagree. My favourite classics would be Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan and of course the Chronicles of Narnia. The Lord of the Rings probably is as well but I still haven't read it! I have read the Hobbit though and I do aim to read the trilogy in the future. Hopefully.

Dearg Doom Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'd say The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and The Last of the Mohicans. Awesome books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think "A Tale of Two Cities" is an awesome classic. The first hundred pages lull you to sleep, but then the action really picks up. I found it enjoyable to read even today. :[b][/b]D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the first 100 pages were build up. Nice common talk and pleasurable descriptiveness kept me intertwined with the message of the book. Too much foreshadowing though.. to the point where it revealed the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
