What are some of the best romance/fiction novels out there?

I believe that great writers also do a great deal of reading. I want to know what books i should be comparing my romance/fiction novel to. Any suggestions?What are some of the best romance/fiction novels out there?
Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice would be my standards if I wrote romance. Pax-C
I agree with who ever said Pride and Predjudice, and other Jane Austen books. There is also Twilight, but its more for a younger group but it has a wonderful plotline and is written amazingly. The whole series will keep you wanting more. And Stephenie Meyers other book, The Host is also very good.What are some of the best romance/fiction novels out there?

Dark Warrior Unleashed by Alexis MorganWhat are some of the best romance/fiction novels out there?
I'm agreeing with whoever said Pride and Prejudice. It's pretty much THE romance novel that everyone should read at least once. You should also check out some other novels by Jane Austen. Sense and Sensibility is highly recommended.
Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon. If you're in the UK, the book is titled CROSS-STITCH instead.
