The Readers Review: Literature from 1714 to 1910 discussion

Sorry for the late start on this.

Because I know the next couple of months will likely be busy for some of us and we have had some pretty hefty long reads lately, please keep nominations under 400 pages for this month.

Last day to nominate will be Oct. 10th

I'd like to suggest this one from 1892
The Whole Family: A Novel by Twelve Authors

The twelve authors are: Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews, John Kendrick Bangs, Alice Brown, Mary Stewart Doubleday Cutting, Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman, William Dean Howells, Henry James, Elizabeth Garver Jordan, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Henry Van Dyke, Mary Heaton Vorse and Edith Wyatt.

That looks really interesting.

The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde which comes in at 144 pages and should suit reading in front of the fire on a cold November night with the wind raging outside!


The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

[book:The Strange Case of..."
