Book recommendations (For a beginner)

[aemorgans.livejournal.com]

The French revolution has piqued my interest. Thing is, I'm just not sure where to start reading. I don't want to, you know, read something bad. So that's where you guys come in. What would be, in your opinion, the best books for someone just starting out on the subject? In English please, although if there's something that's a must read in French I might be persuaded to haul out my dictionary and read it, if I can get my hands on a copy (which is probably unlikely). I really appreciate any help you guys can give me.

I recommend The Oxford History of the French Revolution by William Doyle.
