I thought I'd start off by reading something from my guilty pleasures genre...a historical novel.
Katherine is set in the 14th century, and based on a real woman - Lady Katherine Swynford, who was scandalously the mistress of John of Gaunt, the third son of Edward III, and a Lancaster.
It's a pretty good read - I enjoyed the story, and felt it moved along at a good pace. It was also interesting - it's a period I know very little about. It's not classic literature (I fear I may use that phrase frequently whilst working through that list) but worth a look if you like that sort of thing!
