Katie wrote: "Happy reading, Eve :) I can recommend Sense and Sensibility and Wuthering Heights - both very good."

Thank you, Katie. I look forward reading Sense and Sensibility and Wuthering Heights. :)

Great list, I also have The Paris Wife, Burial Rites and The Absolutely True Story of a Part-time Indian on my list as well!

Burial Rites is really atmospheric, but it wasn't as great as I'd hoped. Still a solid read though!

I am 7 books behind. :(
