You know, romance can be found in the most unexpected places. like in Dickens novels. :)
LOL, I posted this list today too. Great minds think alike ;)
Holly--
I know, girl. But sometimes it's difficult for me to catch on to the writing style of the great ones. Although if I survived reading LOTR and the entire Chronicles of Narnia, I'd probably survive the others. LOL!
Kris--
