The Historical Romance series
by Georgette Heyer
Undoubtedly the wittiest, funniest, most enjoyable romances I've read, with oldfavourites like The Grand Sophy, Arabella, Frederica and The Nonesuch. The writing is smooth and engaging, often even laugh-out-loud funny, the dialogue is sharper than all the Jane Austens put together and the characters are independent, headstrong and sometimes, whimsical. In other words, it's like hugs-and-icecream after a painfully boring day.
(And oh, the men, the absolutely delicious men, from the Rake to the Libertine, the Corinthian and the Cynic.Sigh.)
