I like Pride and Prejudice.

You could simply be picking the wrong type of writer too Cheese. There are excellent female writers and terrible female writers, as is the same case with male writers. Which other books have you tried?

Short stories I've not much a fondness for. More often than not, they are done poorly.

This year I've read Emily Bronte, Willa Cather (O Pioneers) and Jane Austen. All of them hard work.

Though even when I read for pleasure I avoid women writers for some reason, though I daresay my course will open me up to some female writers.

Martine or Martina Cole ( I can't remember which) is a really good author although I doubt they are the sort of books to be on your reading list
