The day after forever - Erin Skiffington........ Such a emotional but, brilliant book! Even made me cry! :o

That is a great book. I re-read it often. Right now I'm reading Burning for Revenge. It's kinda taking me a while, I'm just not feeling it at the moment <_<

I've just finished reading Wilkie Collins' "The Woman in White" Better than Oliver Twist, not as good as Wuthering Heights.

I love The Woman in White. :D I did nineteenth century fiction for my entire third year of uni and it got pretty hard-going at times, but that was definitely a highlight.

I'm doing Victorian Age in Literature, in which the texts are the three I mentioned plus Middlemarch by George Eliot. I don't like Oliver Twist because the characters aside from Nancy are all so one-dimensional. Middlemarch is a good story, but the BBC miniseries was a lot better because the book is too bloody long. Woman in White was OK, but Sir Percival Glyde's secret is hardly as Earth-shattering as the two that Walter specualtes it might be.

Is that the same Woman In White that Andrew Lloyd Webber's show is about? [wonders]

I'm currently reading Second Glance by Jodi Picoult and loving it! :D
