Classics I read in 2007

I also re-read two classics last year - George Eliot's Middlemarch and Tolstoy's Anna Karenina (Oprah's Book Club). Both create a complete and detailed world that I love to disapear into. The world is so far from my own, yet the characters are universal enough that I can recognize myself and people I know in them. Part of the draw of both books though is the rural setting in a time that was if not simpler at least easier to grasp. I will read these again. A possible classic to re-read next year is War and Peace.
