    I think this is one of the first lists I've seen that doesn't have Pride & Prejudice on it, though I see Austen is still represented!

    We both included Wimsey and Vane so I'm pleased about that!

    @Red: I like Pride & Prejudice...but I much prefer Persuasion.

    Ah, Scarlett and Rhett. Sighs. I've seen them pop up on a lot of lists today!

    I've not read any of the classic mystery writers you include here. I hope to read my first Sherlock Holmes in the summer.

    Thank you for your list.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
