Jumping in with the dislike of Wuthering Heights. I even read it on my own a 2nd time thinking it couldn't be that bad. I was wrong. It was.
Definitely recommend Pride & Prejudice. And, if she's visual as well, the Colin Firth BBC production is fantastic. And much of the dialog is word for word from the book. *g*
For pure fun, and really not in the same line, except that it has to with Jane Eyre, is The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. Kind of a fantasy/scifi thing with alternate universes and the ability to dwell in a novel's setting. Might give it a try yourself first to see what you think.
I'm wracking my brains trying to remember some of those old, great classics. It's been too long since I've read any. *sigh* Dickens' Great Expectations maybe?
