    They'd be expected to read these 46 books (make it 50 because i'm certain I forgot some) two per week (most schools have around 30 weeks of classes). As they're actually interesting literature, i'm sure this won't be a problem

        I actually wish that I only had to reac Victorian era books on chemistry. No quantum mechanics would make my life a lot easier

          Wuthering Heights...no contest.

          It was actually enjoyable.

                    That's pre-Victorian. Regency, to be precise.

                        Jane Austen wasn't vicotrian either.

                        If your not including Dickens, your not understanding Victorian Britain, I therefore don't see the point in pretending to study it
                        Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

                          Sherlock Holmes shouldn't even be on a list of choices. It just should be read period.

                            Did you decide b etor?

                            I've read a fair amount of T Hardy (don't ask). I would go with Tess despite the negative review from Ms Firefly.

                            Strange Hardy would be on the list but not Dickens.

                              If they count, then you can include

                              Melville- Moby Dick
                              Hawthorn- The scarlet letter

                              Anything by Twain.

                              So many good books out there.
                              i took american literature last year and read the scarlet letter then.

                              this is for british literature class.

                              i suppose i'll go for the wilde one since it has a good number of votes AND last night when i was reading [[the sweet far thing - libba bray]] the book was briefly discussed.
