Somehow I've never read any of these classics. I think I'll start with Dickens. Thanks for the inspiration!

Enjoy, Larry A.
Ah yes I hesitated about adding A Moveable Feast but decided against it since it’s a memoir and not a novel.
I. Can’t wait to search for these books I definitely need some cute books to read .. there is nothing like summer in Paris
You can also add all the Patrick Modiano's novels. His novels are always located in the 50's or 60's years, searching old places.
Quiet and poetic !
I haven’t read those yet, will add them to my to read list!
