    I have been reading quite a few of the "classics" on my iPhone using eReader. Its great - means I always have a book with me AND I can read at night and DH doesn't whinge! Because these books are so old I can get them for free from Project Gutenburg. I am reading Elizabeth Gaskells "North and South" atm and have just finished "Wives and Daughters". I also have all of Jane Austen and Charlotte and Emily Bronte lined up! (tho I have read most already JA's Persuasion is my fave)

    I would really like to read the works of Charles ****ens - they are next on my download list!

    (I'd love some more "classics" ideas as well)

    I say read Lord of the Rings AND watch the movies. The books are hard going at times with all the weird names etc but I really enjoyed them.

    I think Twelve Angry Men is a play, but I could be wrong.

    Control Freak why don't you try "A Christmas Carol" - its the perfect time of year for it!

    MD did you enjoy War and Peace? I was put off by the sheer size years ago, so read Anna Karenina instead and like it
