I don't get a chance to read as much as I would like. I am going to have to check out some of these and see if I am into Victorian novels. Which is your very favorite?

That's tough because they are all so different, but I can read Vanity Fair over and over. I love Hardy but they can be very depressing. Jane Eyre might be a good one to test the waters with!

Not sure I've ever read a Victorian novel! The books I'm devouring now are from the series True Blood was based upon, the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.
