Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Ellen Page is set to play one of English literature’s most famous characters, the eponymous heroine of Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre.” Alison Owen of Ruby Films, who most recently produced “The Other Boleyn Girl,” is working with BBC Films to develop the new adaptation of Bronte’s classic 19th century romance. It’s the story of a mousy governess who softens the heart of her surly employer Mr. Rochester, only to discover that he’s hiding a terrible secret. Moira Buffini has written the screenplay. No director is yet attached, but the producers are aiming to set the project up to shoot this fall

You get to choose the names for the characters and in a few weeks you'll get a real copy of the book in the mail. Romeo and Juliet would be a good wedding or Valentine's Day gift.

The Great Gatsby, perhaps the first preppy novel?

One of the quintessential (sp? i hate myself) LA novels. just finished it and it is the kind of book that not only makes you want to become a writer, but become a better one....

This book portrays a bleak future of humanity. I just finished it recently and I really enjoyed it. It parallels today even thou it was written in 1948. Fantastic read!
