Novels in Classical Chinese?

[luhmann]

I'm starting to learn Classical Chinesese now, and I wanted some novels too feed my reading, but I have just found out that most of the old novels I wanted to read, such as 西遊記, 紅樓夢, 封神演義, are written in 白話. I'm going through 三國 right now, which should keep me busy for a while. Are there more novels in 文言文?

(Links to trad. char. versions are also apreciated

Consider 聊齋誌異 and 浮生六記. You can find the texts easily by searching the web. Something like these -

林琴南 translated many western novels into classical Chinese. Some of his translations didn't fail to appeal to 錢鍾書 many years after 錢's first encounter with them.

A set of 林紓譯著經典 is available on www.amazon.cn

吾意以為小說文太長 、 意太冗 , 實非宜作初學者 學古文之讀物 。 圍爐夜話 及 菜根譚等語錄式著作庶幾更相宜。
