Day 10-Your Favorite Classic book

I have to admit that when I think of classic books, I think back to high school.  I'm not a fan of classic books in general, so the majority of classics that I read were in high school.  (I tested out of college English classes--Passage to India was the only one I had to read in college, and that was for a history class).  I also think back to each of the years in high school and ask myself, "Which year did I enjoy the reading assignments in English class the most?" 

There are two books that come to mind that I enjoyed reading in high school.  One of them is being used for another post on this book challenge thingy, so I am going to say that this is my favorite classic book (play). 

This is actually the movie poster, not from the book.  This is by far my favorite Shakespeare play.  We read it my sophomore year in high school.  And, for some reason, I absolutely loved it.  I can't give any good reasons why---I only read it once, enjoyed it immensely, and I always have said that it's one of my favorites, but can I give specific reasons?  No, I really don't remember too much from the play, except all the betrayal that seems to be happening in it.  I know this is kind of a lame explanation of why I liked it so much, but that's that.
