Sorry, I'm going to have to agree with Deadly Chakram here. I LOVE "Pride and Prejudice" and all it's sap, banter, and confused romance.
(I even have it be the book Lois is holding in her hand when Superman stops by in BatP, in "Another Lois".)
Nooooo!!! (But totally agree on the P&P thing, I read that every winter and then watch the movie(s)... which reminds me...)
But "Wuthering Heights" I found too depressing.
But that's exactly what I love about it! The tortured soul thing... knowing they could never be together, struggling to live on despite that... the image of Heathcliff calling out Catherine's name in the night... <<sighs>> Okay, now that makes *two* books I'll be re-reading this winter.
Okay, here's a weird timeline loop suggestion. What if Lois gets pregnant by Clark, and Clark dies of a broken heart because Lois marries another man, who she happens to be engaged to (say Lex, although I believe the man what's-her-name is enagaged to in the novel is more of a Daniel type character). Clark impregnates Lois the night before her wedding to Luthor but then dies in the Kryptonite cage during the wedding. Canon continues with Lex being jailed / or jumping to his demise, whatever. Lois then dies in childbirth (just to make it depressing enough for MouseRocks to read), giving birth to a son, who just happens to be the reincarnated soul of Clark (here's where the aforementioned paradox comes in) and it was THAT child's descendants who technically founded Utopia.
Ooh... You're right Virginia. I would read that.
It would also explain why men always want to marry their mothers.
