The classic novel. For a book that's over 400 years old and has such a large cultural footprint, I have to say that the read was pleasantly full of surprises. Everything you've heard of is in the first few chapters, and the rest goes in directions I would never expect.
The first book was a little hard to finish with all the sub-storylines, but the second is one of the best things I've ever read. It really affected and put into perspective my senses of history and of literary creativity, by making me realize that all the modern cleverness and self-awareness that we're so proud of isn't that new after all.
