I would definitely support the reading of some Charles Dickens (for the same reason you would support Moby Dick, important and unread) and I just did some quick research into Georgette Heyer, who seems very intriguing. Along those same lines (if a slightly different era) are the mysteries of Dorothy L. Sayers, a mid-20th-century author who went to an all-women's college at Oxford (her novel Gaudy Night brings up some interesting parallels to Bryn Mawr/most women's colleges). Now that I think about it, a look into classical mysteries or those written by women would be very interesting... (This may not have been the support you were looking for, but I completely agree that steering away from so much online reading would be nice for this next quarter.)
