Recommend me some hard classic literature which i can buy or get from the library that i can use to ignore my boredom.
If anyone says Moby Dick then i will most likely scream. I hates that book.

How about A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens. There is also Anna Karenina by Tolstoy.

I have a tale of two cities. Charles Dickens is one of my favourite authors from the Victorian era.
I shall check out the Tolstoy one though.

Midsummernight's Dream, Pride and Prejudice, Sherlock Homes - the short stories are better than the full length ones.

I actually liked Moby Dick. :p

Read Poe. And what about "The Scarlet Letter" by Hawthorne? And if you want to read something English, read Elizabeth Gaskell's "Mary Barton". Or go German and read Goethe's "Faust". :D

Moby Dick has some beautiful language, but it drags on and on and on.
I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Grey at the moment.
And the Odyssey by Homer. I shall have a look in the classics section of the library for the books you have mentioned.

I have most likely read more books than I've had hot dinners.

Moby Dick. MWAHAHAHAHA

Ok, I'm not an expert in classical literature. Hmm, what about Don Quijote? (inspired by fgg lol)

Find a copy of the Seamus Heaney translation of "Beowulf".

Trust me.
