The Bloody Chamber - Angela Carter
The first book i ever read by her. Its a collection of modernised fairy tales and has nice descriptive passages and skillfully subverts tradition. The Magic Toyshop also by Carter is a good read. She's one of my favourite authors.

It depends what you have read by him - some of his stuff is a little hard going and pretentious, but I enjoyed Country of Last Things and also New York Trilogy by him. The only dissapointing thing in Dracula is the death scene, otherwise a fantastic read.

Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte- I know it's been said before but this has been a favourite of mine since I was 11, when i started reading it whilst skiving from P.E! Just a less conventional love story. Characters who aren't super beautiful or wonderfully charasmatic but yet something very endearing about them.

I think that's what killed Joyce for me doc. If I'd just picked it up randomly and read it I could have taken my time and looked things up. But studying it means doing it at a certain pace. I just ignored it for my coursework and exams at uni. I did other books on my course.

Because cake is happiness
You could try Dubliners, his book of short stories, that's really good and completely straghtforward.

Oooh, I like Of Mice And Men too.

if i haven't already mentioned it, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
It's amazing. Intensely psychological and set in and around a surprisingly vivid image of St Petersburg swathed with murder and self loathing.
