Amazing how this suddenly gets SO much more "currently canonical" when you cross 1860. Anyway, Can You Forgive Her? for me. Les Miserables and Great Expectations are both probably great but also both ruined for me by enforced middle-school reading when I couldn't grasp them.

Oh wow, middle school? They wait until high school to drop the classics on us in Portugal.
