The Dark Is Rising sequence...a five-book series about a boy named Will who learns on his 12th birthday that he is one of the Old Ones, destined to do battle with the forces of the Dark trying to control the world.\n\nA couple of them won Newberry Awards for children's literature...predated Harry Potter by about two decades, and they were much, much better books in my opinion.\n\nAll kinds of creatres and monsters...Dark Riders...monsters of Welsh legends...a sea monster called an Afanc...you get the idea.\n\nThe series was written by Susan Cooper. It's worth reading.

Jack London, Writer \n\nBorn: 12 January 1876 \nBirthplace: San Francisco, California \nDied: 22 November 1916 (uremic poisoning) \nBest Known As: Author of Call of the Wild \nJack London was an early 20th-century writer closely associated with San Francisco and adventure. His most famous book by far is The Call of the Wild (1903), the story of a peaceful California dog named Buck who is kidnapped and shipped to the wilds of Alaska. The Sea-Wolf (1904) and White Fang (1906) also were major hits. London was famous in his day for his dashing lifestyle: among other things he designed and built his own ship, the Snark, and sailed it to the South Pacific. He also was known (much like Stephen King) for his steady and prodigious output of novels, articles and short stories.\n\nThe author adopted the name of London from his step-father... A longstanding rumor has it that Jack London committed suicide, but evidence seems to indicate that he died of kidney failure combined with a possible overdose

Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, they are simply the best classics that have such relevance and resonance even today. Her characters are realistic identifiable and no one is perfect or without a glimmer of humanity. I also love Going Postal by Terry Pratchett I think it's his most cynical and insightful book since Small gods and wonderfully parallels all aspects of our world today.

Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel, first published in 1847, under the pseudonym Ellis Bell; a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the manor on which the story centers.\n\nThough now taken to be a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights' initial reception was lukewarm at best.\n\nIts innovative structure, which has been likened to a series of Matryoshka dolls, puzzled critics when it first appeared. Some contemporary critics even believed it to be an earlier, less mature work from Charlotte Brontë (who had published Jane Eyre that same year under the pseudonym Currer Bell). Subsequent critics revised this view, and most agreed that Wuthering Heights' originality and achievement exceeded Charlotte and Anne's works. Wuthering Heights has given rise to many adaptations, including several films, radio and television dramatisations, and two musicals, as well as a hit song by Kate Bush, of which Brazilian progressive metal band Angra later made a cover.

Charles John Huffam Dickens (February 7, 1812-June 9, 1870) pen-name "Boz", was an English novelist. During his lifetime, Dickens was viewed as a popular entertainer of fecund imagination, while later critics championed his mastery of prose, his endless invention of memorable characters and his powerful social sensibilities. The popularity of his novels and short stories during his lifetime and to the present is demonstrated by the fact that none has ever gone out of print. Dickens played a major role in popularising the serialised novel. He is frequently referred to by his last name only, even on first reference

Hi Nicola, I've searched high and low looking for evidence that Wordsworth was asked to compose this poem, alas I couldn't find any.\n\nComposed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 \nby William Wordsworth \n\nEarth has not anything to show more fair:\nDull would he be of soul who could pass by\nA sight so touching in its majesty:\nThis City now doth, like a garment, wear\nThe beauty of the morning; silent, bare,\nShips, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie\nOpen unto the fields, and to the sky;\nAll bright and glittering in the smokeless air.\nNever did sun more beautifully steep\nIn his first splendour, valley rock or hill;\nNe'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!\nThe river glideth at his own sweet will:\nDear God! The very houses seem asleep;\nAnd all that mighty heart is lying still!\n\nhttp://www.btinternet.com/~p.g.h/culture_poetry_westminster.htm\n\nGood luck\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

Catherine and Heathcliff's separation was a result of Heathcliff eavesdropping and overhearing Catherine confiding in Nelly. Catherine had gotten a marriage proposal from Edgar Linton and had accepted. She was trying to get Nelly's opinion if she had done the right thing. She knew her brother (and her parents, if they had still been alive) would have wanted her to marry as her status befitted her, yet she loved Heathcliff. He left mid-way through the conversation and overheard her say "It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff" and never heard her confess that she truly loved him.
