I have never been a big Victorian era fan, but since reading Pride & Prejudice, I've really enjoyed her style of writing and her characters. After reading Jane Eyre (grrrr @ Charlotte Bronte) last year, this was a big step for me.

I've got to read 1984 for college, I've heard it's not great so I haven't really read much yet.

Wolf-Dieter Dube- The Expressionists. Interesting and nice reproductions.. If only more of them were in colour, colour being very important in Expressionist works.

Sophie's World-Jostien Gaarder

It's got me hooked on philosophy, like reading my own thoughts written down by someone else who had the power to get them published. Not meaning to sound egotistical, but seriously anyone could pick this up and find their thoughts hidden somewhere within the lines...
