I've gotta go to my library and borrow 'Girl With A Pearl Earring' by Tracy Chevalier to read again. I love that book.

It's not necessarily an action book. You need to read about 100 pages to get to know the characters. The point of the book is the humour. Appreciate it.

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

I read the Count of Monte Cristo this year over a few months - one of the best books i've ever read, I definitely recommend you read it, its well worth the 1000+ pages.
