the cat in the hat i love that story XD

 

[Guardian of the Rain]

The Bible
But as for an answer your looking for, The Odyssey in up there. Man, Greek Mythology is awesome. But, I'm only 17 and not that intelligent. So, I'm starting with a teenage level Greek Mythology book "Percy Jackson and the Olympians". I'll read The Odyssey when I'm older and wiserxd

Hmm. Shakespeare, Homer, Plautus, etc.
Or Junibee Jones.

I'd would go with some of the works listed:
Tao Teh Ching
Leaves of Grass
The Mountains of California
Faust
Divine Comedy
Paradise Lost
Hamlet
Tao of Jeet Kune Do
Just to name ... or rename a few

I agree with those bolded, and must add two books, Anna Karenina - Tolstoy and the Idiot - Doestovsky, perhaps the Brothers Karamazov aswell.

Charles Dickinson is really good, I'm the type of person who reads only when he has to lol
Shakespeare maybe Edgar Allen Poe

Just had a test on Hard Times .-. His narrative style is a bit annoying to be honest, but his satirical style keeps me happy.

I think the art of war is worth being on the list. I also recon more contemporary titles like Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit, and Harry potter are worthy of being included as great literature, but it depends on what your definition of literature is.
