I was just reading Ballantyne's Coral Island and I was wondering if anyelse has read it, as well, any other classical novels or stories that you have found amusing.
I've heard that Coral Island and Lord of the Flies are comparable though, but aside from a few names and being on an island, I cant really see how?
If you know, let me know, other wise, just post any cool stories that you have read.
Cool stories I have read:
The Coral Island
Legend of Huma
Book of Three
Taran Wanderer
The Alchemist
First Born
Breach in the Watershed
The Farseer Trilogy - Assassins apprentice, Royal Assassin, Assassin's quest
Those are just a few, I can tell you the authors if you would like.

Follow My Leader
Savage Sam (sequel to Old Yeller)
The Black Stallion (series, I've read them all except for Man O' War)
Journey to the West (Full version not avaiable in English, as far as I know stressed )
Gulliver's Travels (Original version, not just Liliput or Laputa)
The Jungle Book (Original version, all 5 stories. My favorite is the second one, Kotick)
King Lear (Little known Shakespere sweatdrop )
Joy Luck Club
Balzac and the Little Seamstress
Saving Fish from Drowning (just published)
Child of the Wolves (also really short)
Riding Freedom (likewise shortness)

I always read classics for book reports. There not stories, but they are novels. Phantom of the Opera is good, and so is A Clockwork Orange. Read those, they pwn. 3nodding

Hmm...Unfortunately I don't read much anymore, which can be blamed on the computer, anime, and video games xp Though I'll still list the ones I liked the most!^^
-Tuck Everlasting (author unknown)
-Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell
-Song of the Lioness (all 4 books) by Tamora Peirce
-Wild Magic (first 2 and maybe the 3rd) by Tamora Peirce
-Broken Sky (first 2 maybe more) by Chris Wooding
-Phantom Rider (all 3) by Janni Lee Summer
-Fear Street (haven't read them all but I've read about 10 so far...and own over 20 x.x) by R.L. Stine
There are some more but I can't remember their names xp Though I love Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth (I've only read the play versions though). I also read some of To Kill A Mocking Bird, and I really liked it^^

Hmmm.......I don't really own any classical books besides of Anne of Green Gables. xd
But I do like these series and books:
All books by Meg Cabbot (Mediator, 1-800-Where-are-you, Princess Diaries etc.)
Eragon, Eldest
Confessions of a Vampire's Girlfriend
Lullaby
All books by Lurlene McDaniel (Tragedies crying )
Through Wolf's Eyes, Wolf's Head Wolf's Heart
Blue Moon Rising
Janey's Girl
Kingdom Keepers
The Dating Game
oh..Vampire books that I can't remember the title of xd
As you can see I tend to lean towards fantasies with a dark twist but I also love tragedies, comdey romances, and such. ^^
