Reading for setting is almost worse than reading for plot

Aurora Leigh is good, a lot of the Brontes' stuff is great (Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Willdefell Hall), The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Mayor of Casterbridge (mah fave).
Give yourself the Dickens
The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles
Anything by Hardy
Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde
worth it for a that scene where Hyde tramples that little girl, I know it's supposed to be horrifying but I found it funny
