Not sure, Middlemarch appeals. I'm not a particular fan of realism, but Zola's descriptions are really outstanding - how he makes beauty out of such a miserable situation.

In my own writing, I guess I stray from realism with fantastical elements - I like to try to fuse both. It's difficult though.
