The Clan of the Cave Bear. Got it for free from a friend who moved away a while back. It was alright, though a lot of it seems like it was just copied out of a Paleolithic almanac. Lots of long passages describing ancient vegetation and animals, passages that seem to go on and on. Still, it's kind of neat to imagine what life and society was like back then.

"Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel" by Susanna Clark. A blend of historical fact and magical fantasy set during the time of the Napoleanic Wars. An unusually light-hearted story of war and government and an unusually scholarly story of magic. The ending was more melancholy than I was in the mood for, but still a fun read full of archaic expressions and spelling, and lots of footnotes of varying historical merit.
