Northanger Abbey - a delightful and charming read about a girl who reads too many books, finding out that situations are never as dramatic as she hyped them up to be. It's also pretty short, so you can start on another Classic right away

An absolutely delightful read, with many deep undercurrents of truth and reconciliation about the world around us
