*blushes* don't worry, I'm really the least intimidating person you'll ever meet ;)
That had to be my first. Not even five minutes of show and 1) I was already hooked 2) I had already pledged my poor heart. Absolutely good observation regarding the bittersweet-ass-kicking moments. It's probably the only thing they'll never run out of.
I doubt I'll ever read something topping 1984, for me. About the Musketeers (talking about also Twenty Years Later etc.) I wasn't actually thinking of ever shipping it before reading it, but it's so obvious and thrown right in your face that you don't even need to ship it for how blatantly there it is. Which is one of the reasons I love it. Mice and Men probably suffered the fact that I read it first in a pretty lame translation, while the Grapes of Wrath didn't and it had a whole other effect. But I totally love Mice and Men, too ;) I read Jane Eyre last summer and I definitely loved it though in the Bronte household I'd have definitely stayed on Team Heathcliff. Even if Rochester came close to threaten his place.
