well, i can highly recommend the faraway tree. especially if you pair it with v for vendetta. (this will make sense if you do read them both)

I found The Thorn Birds to be surprisingly good airport reading.

I REALLY like Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White... it's considered to be the very first mystery novel printed in mass ;)

The others on your list (except for Tolkien) I've not read either, heh!

hee hee. you may borrow dogeared copies of "the woman in white" (which i love more than is right or natural... but then i DIG slogging through massive amounts of victorian detail and form for form's sake...) and "perfume" (which does, indeed, rock like a hurricane..), should the mood strike you.

i'm amused by the enid blyton content. why do americans not love EB's books...?
