Great books! I love reading classics! Even though they're often hard work, it's nice to read one every now and then.
ReplyDeleteI need to read North and South. I watched the BBC mini series and loved it a lot, so I think I'd like the book too!

OOh nice! I need to give Frankenstein a try! In an odd moment of insanity, I did buy this one! Wanted to give it a go because I love my classic monster movies and wanted to read its "origin" story!

I love Austen too! I've seen a lot of her books today and it makes me so excited that people love her just as much as do. These lists definitely remind me that I need to read Frankenstein soon!

YES! On so many of these books.Half of them made my list as well. I really need to read Northanger Abbey, I hear it's referred to as a "Gothic parody" and I love both of those things! Great list!
