I have a nice hardback collection of the complete Austen novels, but I just downloaded Emma onto my iPhone to read on my commute.ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640231960404721446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750978473161158910.post-31724785810533123462012-06-06T19:43:30.895-07:002012-06-06T19:43:30.895-07:00I second Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

I&#...I second Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I loved it.<br /><br />I've been really into Edith Wharton lately. Age of Innocence is far and away her best, but even her less famous novels are good. You can see certain flaws and it's pretty easy to tell why they aren't classics like Age of Innocence, House of Mirth, Ethan Frome, but I haven't yet read a Wharton book that I haven't loved.<br /><br />Also really good is Pearl Buck's The Good Earth.ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640231960404721446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750978473161158910.post-15181228966213423732012-05-16T04:40:55.515-07:002012-05-16T04:40:55.515-07:00Anne Bronte's Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

So dreamy.<br /><br />My two all-time favorite books are classics: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and East of Eden by John Steinbeck (seriously read it if you haven't already, it is a masterpiece.) (Side note: I'm so obsessed with Steinbeck I have been to his museum three times, his childhood home, and his grave.)Cara-Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435255215689704022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750978473161158910.post-63923620491025157272012-05-09T07:03:01.107-07:002012-05-09T07:03:01.107-07:00Read the Great Gatsby and Wuthering Heights if you...Read the Great Gatsby and Wuthering Heights if you haven't already :D and yes, Jane Austen is great :)<br /><br />x<br />Angie<br />sundaybelle.comAngie J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16560390754112191705noreply@blogger.com
