Just finished reading The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. I really liked it; actually preferred it to The Woman In White because I found it less depressing. It's told mainly in first person by a host of rather entertaining characters (with the exception of Franklin Blake; found his accounts rather boring. Couldn't decide who was more boring though; him or Walter Hartright). I was especially entertained by the accounts of Miss Clack though, I was either snorting with laughter or rolling my eyes.
Am now on Alexander Dumas' The Three Musketeers. It was a huge favourite of mine as a child, and I think it was responsible for jumpstarting me on my preference for older men thanks to that Athos.
