I think Vanity Fair could easily be qualified as a YA novel; it's filled with them.

Moi, I too like Vanity Fair; I think Thackeray has a great narrative style: at once pompous, fawning, omniscient, and unreliable. A very compelling work, indeed. The only work by a Bronte sister that I have read is Jane Eyre (gasp!--not even Wuthering Heights?!); perhaps I'll take the road less traveled and opt for Villette. Thanks for the suggestion!

At present, I find myself reading Vanity Fair, in the midst of an independent exploration of the 19th century British novel. No, really, it's not quite as painful as it sounds. Next on the docket will be either a little Trollope or Dickens. Any suggestions?
