The once and future king by T.S. elliot

T.H. White, that would be.

Eliot's poetry is amazing, though.

I would add:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Barnett
A Short History of a Small Place, by T.R. Pearson (not a classic, but read it anyway)

I love this site for catching up with old friends.

It's kinda weird that they listed the works alphabetically by title instead of grouping them by author, though.

Re-read Shakespeare's histories! Best stories ever.

Written things from the 'classics' period I think you are asking for. [sm]I don't like ************

Sonnets of the Portugese ~ Elizabeth Browning
Snowbound ~ Whittier
******************** nothing[/i] ~ Longfellow (no not even Evangeline)
Poems for Lincoln? ~ Whitman
Everything he wrote ~ Basho
On Love and Grief ~ H. Heine

Written stuff listed previously that I would second.

Atlas Shrugged ~ Ayn Rand (made my wife read this while engaged)
Godel Escher Bach/ G.E.B. ~ D.R. Hofstadter (I think you would like it Samira)
Once and Future King ~ T.H. White (don't forget the more controversial final chapters, The book of Merlyn)

Milton's poems edited(translated?) by Maurice Kelley are good reading. Paradise Lost may take alot of thought to get through being as meaty as it can be, but his sonnets are memorable.
