Reading Garnethill by Denise Mina. I haven't felt much like reading lately, but I'm finding that I really am enjoying this book. I was quite surprised to discover that it's more than 20 years old - the clue was that the library copy I'm reading is quite well-loved.
What I love most about Garnethill is the "local color"; the thing I love second-best is the feminism at the heart of the story.
Also on the list:
The One-in-A Million Boy by Monica Wood
A Completing of the Watsons by Rose Servitova
The Revisioners by Margaret Wilkerson Sexton
Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte

Having finished Garnethill, I'm now reading Agnes Grey. This is the first time I've ever read Anne Bronte (her other novel is the The Tenant of Wildfell Hall). What strikes me first is just how different her style seems from that in Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.
