Thanks, Eric!🌷I’ve recently read The Mystery of Edwin Drood and I think it’s worth reading even though we only have half of the novel. It’s full of memorable characters and atmospheric descriptions. There’s one character in particular, who’s an addict and an absolute creep, and I found him terrifying! 😱
Hi Eric! Thanks for another interesting vid! Classics & historical fiction are my favorite genres so I’ve got tons of them among my TBRs. At least one you’ve reviewed, Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont; lots of Russians, including Kolyma Tales by Varlam Shalamov; lots of award winners, including Andersonville by MacKinlay Kantor (re Civil War) & A Bell for Adano by John Hersey; lots more! 😊 Thanks again!!
Thanks for the interesting run down and good luck with your reading target..👍. With regards creepy stories and from the Victorian/Edwardian era, I can recommend the stories of M.R.James. I'm reading his first collection called Ghost Stories of an antiquary. (1905). Very chilling! Anyway, I always enjoy your channel, have a good Autumn reading season....
Hello Eric🙋♀️ An interesting selection of books 📚 I must admit I have a love/hate relationship with Charles Dickens. Some of his novels are wonderful, but some of his writings have dense plot lines, and sooo many characters...but I think I would have a go at reading 📖 “The Mystery of Edwin Drood.” If you want good old fashioned ghost stories I would recommend M R James and Susan Hill, for a cold winters ❄️evening. The Classic novels I want to read: “Cold Comfort Farm” by Stella Gibbons, and “The Professor” by Charlotte Bronte. HAPPY READING📚
Hoping to finish "Swann's Way" before the end of the year in anticipation of a full "In Search of Lost Time" read-through next year. (lol. who am I kidding?) Also have the last 20% or so of "Anna Karenina" looming over my shoulder and about 40% of "Pride and Prejudice". Just discovered that my car battery is dead, so at least my schedule just opened up.
I've read Burroughs, and tbh I find his work prepossessing. If you have any idea about the milieu in which his stories are set it may be possible to break his strange codes, otherwise you're condemned to puzzling through his rich and strange lexicon.

Been reading Ethan Fromm. Edith Wharton. Who knew she was so mod? I didnt.

Busy victorbering at the moment I'm reading a Welsh classic 'Rhys Lewis' by Daniel Owen, so far very readable.
Sounds good!
