Pride and Prejudice
or possibly The Go-Between, or possibly Brideshead Revisited.

Suilad, mellon,
It's probably a tie between the Bible and the Lord of the Rings. Probably. Doesn't mean it is, just probably. B/C, really, the Bible is much more encouraging and is much richer than Lord of the Rings, but not by much. So therefore, having gone and said this, wasted your precioussss time, I like both Lord of the Rings and the Bible, Bible being first and Lord of the Rings being second. Namarie, --Nimbrennil

*Agrees with Millane* I'm not sure whether to rank Tolkien or Martin nr 1, so who's on the top varies.
