What do you mean 'books like?' Romances? Those two particular books are particularly devoid of meaning. Read Chekhov, Flaubert, Knut Hamsun's Victoria or Mysteries, Jean Rhys, Fitzgerald, or Hemingway for much better romances around that time period.

Gone with the wind is pure shit but try with Austen and remenber, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in posses-
sion of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

Gonna agree with the others who recommended Pride and Prejudice. It's a corker! Mr. Bennet's hilarious.
