I've just started reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, the first novel of hers I've read. I also want to read The Girl Who Played With Fire by Steig Larsson. I kow I'll read many more throughout the year but those two are currently at the top of my list.

Who is your favorite author and why?I really enjoy Jane Austen still. I love a good romance and I enjoy the way Austen wrote about society and it's silent rules and expectations. Can be an author from any period, though, including contemporary.
