One of the most valuable gifts my father gave me was a love of reading. I'm a fan of John Irving, Barbara Kingsolver, anything well written. The girls at work are always reading trite, formulamatic(sp?) stuff that leaves me cold. The last few years I've been picking my way through classics every now and then- Dickens, Hardy, Austen, Bronte, (can't stomach the Russians-too depressing and heavy)Any suggestions on undiscovered treasures will be appreciated. Oh...and I'm addicted to romance novels...my guilty pleasure.
