In classics, Dickens if you want to be depressed, Poe if you want to be scared, and of course Austen if you like the romantic stuff.

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
??? Dickens if you appreciate real humor.

There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
I checked out the reviews at Amazon.com yesterday, and it's averaging a score of about 4.7/5 stars from all the reviews submitted thus far.Almost done with it, and I've really enjoyed it so far.
