A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
5.0

I read this when I was 16 and developed a gigantic crush on Sydney Carton. Yes, on a fictional literary character. Because he is that amazing. And so is this book. Can you think of any other book that people know the first and last lines of, even if they don't know where the lines are from? I can't. This book is beautiful and I haven't found anything that can quite live up to the perfect way in which the two tales weave together--not even in other Dickens writings. He set the bar outrageously high with this one.
