just read Women in Love (DH Lawrence), and Tess of the D'Urbervilles (Thomas Hardy)
Both were excellent, as well as completely different. Women in Love surprised me, as it was very different from what I was expecting. Only Lawrence I had previously read was Lady Chatterly's Lover, which is very different.
also recently read Anna Karenina, which is as good as I expected. I wish I could red it in the original language!
