The Eyre Affair
Bel Canto
The Virgin in the Garden or
The Little Country for fiction?
and for non-fiction
Wild Swans
Galileo's Daughter
Nickel and Dimed or
The Assassin's Gate?
Thanks in advance for the input. :) And enjoy the latest book pile! Some of these I mooched, but I bought The Assassin's Gate (20% off coupon), Arsinian Tales (on clearance), and Wormwood (ditto) at B&N. Are any of you guys reading great books right now? I'm going to the library tomorrow, so feel free to add some other suggestions. :)

Well, I've only read Bel Canto from that list, and I really enjoyed it. But The Eyre Affair and Galileo's Daughter both sound really interesting, and I'd like to read them, too. This is a pretty good list, can't imagine going wrong with any of these books :)
I love The Woman In White as well, and am looking forward to reading antoher Collins books (No Name) in the near future.
If I were you, I'd read The Virgin in the Garden as it's thoughfully and lyrically written or the Eyre Affair (which is in my TBR pile at the moment, and a good excuse to re-read Jane Eyre).
You know I'm a big Byatt fan so automatically I'd go for her novel, but I recently received The Assassin's Gate as a gift and wouldn't mind reading your thoughts about that either.
"No Name" is a great Wilkie Collins, and I've also recently read and loved "Armadale".
As for your stack, I'd say "Virgin in the Garden" for some great writing; "Little Country" for a fun read. And non-fiction, "Wild Swans". Just my opinion!
I loved Woman in White, too, but it took me much longer to read! LOL. I have just started Armadale, which will also be a longer read for me, but I am looking forward to it! I would love to read more AS Byatt. I have read Wild Swans--excellent, and very different than the Collins, if you are looking for a big change of pace!
