Downloading Classics onto Kindle
I went on a bit of a splurge the other night. Conscious that I'm spending three weeks in Birmingham, I went onto Amazon and downloading a heap of free classics for my Kindle, which is one of the best presents I've ever received. Unfortunately, those added to what I already have on there have equated to something of a mountain. So if anyone has any suggestions for which of the following long list I should read I'd be grateful! These are all books I haven't read before, illustrating some gigantic holes in my education. (List in no particular order!)

All I can say for Les Mis is you'll need nero to sustain you. It's good (not finished it yet) but hard work.
I recommend Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell! (Cranford would also be a great choice!)
I started reading the Father Brown short stories but once I'm done with those I'll pick a Gaskell. Only read North and South - I'm terrible!
Claire - I'm possibly saving Les Mis until I'm in prison on death row...
The Hand of Ethelberta by Thomas Hardy is worth a read if you've not already read it; think Hardy does farce. Another good Gaskell to read is Mary Barton.
That seems to be one of the only Hardys I didn't download. Will add it to the list. Rather intrigued how he could do farce to be honest.
Got Mary Barton in hard copy at home. Keep meaning to read it and people keep telling me it's good. Don't know why it's still on the shelf.
