Favourite books of all time

I also read Labyrinth by Kate Mosse (not the supermodel) which was based around Carcassone in the languedoc in France - I closed the book and demanded my husband take me there - Its a beautiful ancient castle - I would reccomend it for a weekend away - Very fairytale especially if you stay in one of the two hotels within the castle walls like we did.0

I'm growing old, I've sixty years;
I've laboured all my life in vain:
In all that time of hopes and fears
I've failed my dearest wish to gain.
I see full well that here below
Bliss unalloyed there is for none.
My prayer will ne'er fulfilment know
I never have seen Carcassonne,
I never have seen Carcassonne!

Another one to pull at the heartstrings is Wuthering Heights
When I was 14 our english teacher gave us wuthering heights and told us to read it over a two week break. It didnt happen - so hard to read.
I miss reading Shakespeare, so hard to read without constantly checking references, which spoils it. We studied Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth at school. Loved them both. But trying to read them now is very difficult.0
