1. An overhyped classic you really didn't like.
Wuthering Heights
The Great Gatsby
The Little Prince
2. Favorite time period to read about.
I don't much care about the time period. I have favorites in every time period.
3. Favorite fairy-tale.
Anahita
I also love Oscar Wilde's fairytales.
4. What is the most embarrassed classic you haven't read yet.
Don Quixote, The Diary of a Young Girl and Charles Dickens' books. Oh, and Moby Dick
5. Top 5 classics you would like to read (soon).
The Scarlet Letter
In Search of Lost Time
The Bell Jar
East of Eden
Paradise Lost
6. Favorite modern book/series based on a classic
Perhaps most Arthur stories. I love Mists of Avalon, but never forget that Marion Zimmer Bradley was a child molester.
7. Favorite movie version/TV series based on a classic.
I do love the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. It's pretty much perfect.
A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999) is a nice one.
Twelfth Night versions are nice, too. Let's name the 1996 version.
RAI's 1968 L'Odissea
Ray Harryhausen movies :-D I love those!
8. Worst classic to movie adaptation.
The Wizard of Earthsea.
Mary Poppins.
1999 Mansfield Park.
9. Favorite edition(s) you'd like to collect more classics from.
I want all the collections of classics there is!
But - if you make them rainbow colored and hardcover in a binding that goes together so that it's obvious it's a series, a collection, then I'll kill to get them :-D This is Penguin Classics Faux Leather Edition. *sigh*
10. An under-hyped classic you'd recommend to everyone.
The Master and Margarita
Watership Down
Wind in the Willows
Read the books, unabridged version
Frankly, read a classic that's at least 50 years old, once a year, how ever boring you think it is. You might find treasures and jewels. (I know, Watership Down isn't 50 years old. Yet. But almost.)
And re-read the classics you just had to read for school or class or course or something like that. You might find something you appreciate when you don't have to read it.
Also, re-read a classic after you have read a good review of it, not a positive, overflowingly praising review, but a review where the reviewer talks about what the book made them feel and think and realize.

The Great Gatsby
