North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell:
... read this book (and studied it in great depth) for my A level in English Literature. It was to be read as a comparative study along with Hard Times by Charles Dickens. Like Hard Times, the novel first appeared in serialised form, and it wasn t published in book form until 1885. It is predominantly a social commentary on the industrial North of England and we see it all the more dramatically through the eyes of an ...

Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes ... read twice a novel of more than 1000 pages is either testament of the craziness of the reader, or the value of the novel. In my case, I would like to think that the second is the case. Don Quixote is a novel I read twice because I really enjoyed it. It is the story of a noble, although one who is not very much in demand, who embarks on a serie of adventures around Spain in the 16th century. His aim is to restore justice, but he suffers from a major difficulty in differentiating his dreams (and off course ideals) and the reality. The result is a very enjoyable book, with many adventures and I read loud more than once while reading the book. Don Quixote is escorted by... Read the full review: A masterpiece by Tehurem |

Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy ... Tolstoy s Anna Karenina is an incredibly popular story. Well known and loved by many it has survived the passage of time and is as beguiling and popular now as it has ever been. I say story rather than novel as this has been the subject of many film and TV adaptations, from Greta Garbo in 1935 to Sophie Marceau in 1997 the IMDb website lists no less than 24 different adaptations, from all over the world. How popular the novel itself is is questionable, weighing in at over 800 pages it is quite daunting but if you ve only seen the films you really have missed out. The novel is a masterpiece of literature and covers characters and themes far beyond the reach of film. I... Read the full review: Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy by count_zero |

Emma - Jane Austen ... book was first published back in 1816, i read this book after my mother was raving about how good it was but it didnt have the same effect on me, i found it long winded and boring at points.

Firstly Emma has to convince Harriet to refuse a marriage proposal from a local farmer which doesnt take too much work as Harriet isnt too bright, this done Emma now needs to get Harriet and mr Elton together but this poses a bit more of a chalenge as Mr Elton decides he wants to marr...
