8. Read a Boxall book written by an author using a pseudonym.

I already knew Isak Dinesen, George Eliot, Mark Twain, and Voltaire were pseudonyms. (I'm going with Daniel Deronda)

I didn't know that George Orwell was, as well. Or that the Bronte sisters all used pseudonyms (they were professionally known as the Bell brothers during their lifetimes).

The fact that Anne Rice was a pseudonym really threw me for a loop!

Henry Green was a pseudonym for Henry Yorke. He has 6 books on the list -- Loving, Living, Back, Party Going, Caught, and Blindness.

Lao She was the pseudonym of Shu Qíngchūn. Flann O‘Brien also is a pseudonym.

I created a shelf with all the works which were written under a pseudonym: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Some authors (e.g. Jane Austen or Charles Dickens) only published parts of their work using a pseudonym. For them, I only added the books published under such a one.

I’m also submitting George Eliot’s “Daniel Deronda”, which i read for a book club in January.

I wonder if Joseph Conrad could be considered a pseudonym? He anglicised his Polish name to one easier to say (and for commercial reasons too I bet).
