If you wish to take a guided tour of great western literature, your guide book is The Western Canon by Sterling Professor of Humanities Harold Bloom.

Try Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. One of my all time favorites, and no I'm not a chick-lit reader. It does focus on a young woman, but the main characters are well fleshed out and the story has some interesting twists.
Oh and Ren..., I think we may be located in the exact same place!

Well, actually I enjoy powerfull emotion in my reading. Among some of the titles mentioned I still apreciate Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Great Expectations by Dickens etc. I am also moved by the Victorian romantic poets like Byron: She walks in Beauty......When we two parted etc. I still feel moved by Oscar Wildes: The Happy Prince. Man!, I should open a book again one of these days,lol.
