One of the, if not the, greatest songs ever sung.

[Your "Must-Read Classics" List]

I would say there are a few short story writers who fit the bill:

Cheever.

Chekhov.

Carver.

Flannery O'Connor.

Alice Munro.

Calvino?

Others?

I think Poe and Gogol are on that list.

Probably my favorite short is Gogol's "Ivan Fyodorovich Sponka and His Aunt". Gogol got some other great ones.

O'Connor "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" was a great short.

If Chekhov's stories aren't classics, than we're pretty much writing off all short stories, because they're about as good as they get.

That was a terrible mistake by me. I meant to say that short-stories generally aren't consider "classics". Chekhov's writing is genius to me.

[Your "Must-Read Classics" List]

The Stranger, Camus - My favorite book

Slauterhouse-Five, Vonnegut

The Captain's Daughter, Pushkin

The Brother Karamazov, Dostoevksy

The Death of Ivan Ilych, Tolstoy

A Hero of Our Time, Lermontov - Almost forgot to list it.

I got love Chekhov stories, but I don't think they would be consider "classics"

The "internets?"

Are there more than one?

There is actually more than 1 internet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet2

It is super fast, but only a few people are connected to it. Mainly well known colleges, businesses, and the government.

[History and Biographies]

"E = MC^2 : A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation"

It isn't technical at all. I find it very interesting and an easy read.
