I love both Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre even though they are so different and loved them as a teen. Same with Jane Austen. She's a brilliant writer. I think my new favorite book EVER might be East of Eden by John Steinbeck though I don't love his other works nearly so much. Loved both Silas Marner and Middlemarch by George Eliot. I enjoyed The Scarlet Letter more than I ever though I would. Let's hear some others that you love. :)
