So I got my reading list for university. Far too many books I had no intention of reading ever. Going to start Mansfield Park later since I have it in a Jane Austen anthology and am a bit ill to go traipsing to the shops to buy new books. I'll probably order a few online anyway.

Basically it seems to be a history of 'the novel' since Robinson Crusoe and focusing on female writers. Then there's a couple of autobiographies like Bill Bryson's The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid which will at least be light hearted and easy to read quickly.
