Lauren Willig - The Pink Carnation Series
Watership Down is a favorite favorite favorite, and Jane Eyre.
Also, for a really funny read, The Princess Bride - even funnier than the movie.
I'm reading through the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die. I'm at 165 so far. You can check it out at http://johnandsheena.co.uk/books/ if you don't want to buy the actual book. It is a great coffee table book though.
I recently read La Bete Humaine by Emile Zola and The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe. Excellent! Librarything has great blog widgets. (visit my blog and you can see all my recently read books/reviews on the right side)
I like the author Roald Dahl and he wrote books for both children and adults .
Ex: James and the Giant Peach , Matilda etc.
I'm a big fan of Tom Robbins.
Also, Jane Eyre is a classic...I imagine you may have read that though.
I do need to checkout bonfire of the vanities!
Happy reading! =)
