2. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brönte
3. The Weekend that Changed the World by Peter Walker
4. The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien

I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.
