Easy... A Tale of Two Cities...
I love Mayor of Casterbridge too - a little cheesy but I studied it at school and as such it will always have a place in my heart.

The Iliad.
The Iliad is one of my most-beloved favourites, but I give first place to the Odyssey.

I guess it depends on how you define classic.
Farenheit 451 is my favorite book. It is frequently taught and is probably a modern classic.
If you're looking for a more traditional classic...probably The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Dracula counts right?
and the Decameron i think is the best book ever published. if you like sin city, you'll love this. in one section the hero of the story winds up trapped in a church tomb with a dead naked priest after basically a few pages of him getting beat down by life and winding up a disgusting smelly mess in the company of theives.
oh, and when i was 10, i didn't go a day without reading the three musketeers. confederate yankee in king arthurs court is fun too.
forgot to mention: every mickey spillane and dashiell hammet, and ray chandler book ever

Play: Midsummer Nights Dream
Novel: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship.... Im not a big fan of the other two as they tend to retread themes used in the first book, though the ending to Two Towers is interesting, it pales in comparison to hope underlying the bleakness that ends the 1st book.
