I was quite surprised by Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. First of all the description tells you that the story revolves around three students who went to an exclusive boarding school in England. The story turned out to be much more. During the first section of the story the characters are young but you get the distinct feeling that there is more to this school than meets the eye.
Now a few years back I saw an interview with the cast and Ishiguro for the movie based on the book. Ishiguro was born in Japan but grew up in England and get this he speaks with a British accent! I was not expecting that.
Next up is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Yay!

I like Pride & Prejudice. I've read all of her novels, and it is by far my favorite one. :)
