[quote=""diamondlil""]I feel kind of compelled to read more anyway, because whenever I say to someone that I haven't read books like Pride and Prejudice I can here the gasp from the other side of the world![/quote]

My favorites for the 19th century:
All of Jane Austen, esp. Persuasion and Mansfield Park
Middlemarch
The Mill on the Floss
Wuthering Heights
Madame Bovary
L'Education Sentimentale
All of Dostoevsky, esp. Memoirs from the House of the Dead (not sure about the English title of this one)
Bel Ami
Au Bonheur des Dames, Germinal, and about anything else by Zola
Wives and Daughters
Sylvia's Lovers
Quatre Vingt Treize
Eugenie Grandet
The Three Musketeers and sequels
Barchester Towers
Maybe it's the language barrier, but my eyes glaze over when I read Dickens. Great sense of humor, but, unlike the other Victorians, he is very, very tough for non-native speakers.

Ah, another Persuasion and Mansfield Park person! I think Mansfield Park people are relatively rare.
