I couldn't pick a particular book for this one so I choose a genre.... sort of.
I wish i had have started reading classic literature sooner than I had. Unlike a lot of people who read a lot of the classics in high school, we read things that they thought we would like such as tomorrow when the war began and Lockie Lenard: Human Torpedo, both of which I hated. Not to mention the fact that some years we didn't even read a text as part of our schooling, this is what you get for going to school in the country.
When I got my Kindle however, I was in my last year of University and hence i was broke and couldn't really afford to buy any of the new release books. This was when I discovered The Gutenberg Project and their free downloadable mobi files for kindle.
I read quite a few classics that year and a few since then. I have enjoyed then greatly and had an epiphany as to why classics are classic.... they are so well written and even one, two or even three hundred years after being first published, they read beautifully. I honestly wish i had started reading them sooner.
