War and Peace, Frankenstein, & Villette.

I've only gotten to chapter 2 lol (in War and Peace). I haven't started Villette, but I love the Bronte sister's writing, so I'm very excited to read it! Yeah I have heard that, and I love books like Dracula and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, so I think I'll really like reading Frankenstein.

Very cool! What other books by the Bronte sisters have you read?
I bet you will! Let me know how you like it:))

I read an abridged version of W&P in 11th grade, and it was still 600 pgs long. But it's REALLY good. If you like historical romance (and you have nothing to do for about six months XD), then this is a great book for you. I plan to read the whole book someday. :D

Yeah the chapters are pretty long lol...and half of the dialogue is in French so I have to refer to the translation notes at the bottom of the pages a lot. I've read Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Oh yeah I gotcha! I have the original version that's not abridged, but my goal is to get it read in a couple months. I'm a relatively fast reader, but the book still has 1,200 pages (so it will probably honestly end up taking me a little bit longer).

Cate, glad you joined! Haha, I replied so late I'm not sure if anyone's ever going to reply, but I might as well.
Really? Do you think those 600 pages could be cut down even more? Huh, I actually didn't know it was a historical romance- that's a loong romance book. Good for you! Let me know when you do, and how you like it compared to the abridged version!

Sorry for the late reply!
Really? Another new thing I learned today. Nice! I will read them someday, or at least Jane Eyre:) What other authors do you like?
