Which books would you consider timeless?

[Quetzalcoatl]

Are there any books, fiction or non-fiction, that you would consider timeless? If so, which books? Extra points if they are really old, as that would show that they have stood the test of time.

Huckleberry Finn. A Tale of Two Cities.
I haven't read many of either Twain or Dickens books, but have a suspicion that both authors have several timeless books.

I mean they definitely have very clear settings of time and place, but the stories have a timeless qualities.

I think Don Quixote would fit that as well, and maybe a lot of Dumas.

Moby Dick. (I have yet to finish it, I got 1/2 way through it and put it down some time ago I need to get back to it)

Letters From The Earth.

[daniel1948]

Gosh, there are so many. No way would I be able to think of more than just a few.

All those mentioned above.
All of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.
All of Dickens and Shakespeare and Chaucer.
La guerra del fin del mundo by Mario Vargas Llosa.
Cien anos de soledad by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
The Iliad and The Odyssey.
The Aeneid.
All of Sophocles.
The Bible (as literature, KJV).

Fahrenheit 451
Brave New Word
Nineteen-Eighty Four

Fahrenheit 451

My son just started reading this for 9th grade English.
I was reading it along with him the other night. I forgot just how overly flowery the writing is. Great story though.

The movie adaptations of 1984 vs 451 are diametrically opposed. Nineteen Eight-Four (1984) is basically exact whereas Fahrenheit 451 (1966) is like they barely tried to follow the book.
