Transcript
Penrhôs, Holyhead
( Crime & Punishment
( The Idiot
( The Brothers Karamazoff—Dostoïeffski
all good but rather long depressing and dreary.
( Smoke
( Fathers & Children
( House of Gentlefolk—Tourgenieff
There are lots of others by Tourgenieff, all quite good, not any of them exciting, but made for a sea journey. The Tolstoy’s you have probably read, besides there are a good many Russian ones already.
Jean-Christophe—Romain Rolland
Its been translated, but I dont know how well, and is in 10 vols! The 1st four are excellent.
( Marius the Epicurean
( Miscellaneous Studies—Walter Pater
Lots of Trollopes are great fun (Barchester Towers, Framley Parsonage The Warden) unless you mind books entirely about parsons. They are very peaceful and unexciting but excellent.
Mrs Gaskells Life of Charlotte Brontë
Auto-Biography of Benvenuto Cellini | translated by J. A. Symonds.
( Erewhon
( Erewhon revisited
( Alps & Sanctuaries—Samuel Butler
I think you’ve read The Way of all Flesh havent you?
( Coningsby
( Lothair—Disraeli
Saïd the Fisherman: Pickthall
The Real Charlotte: Somerville & Ross.
( The Room with a View
( Where Angels fear to tread—Forster
The Ghost Ship: Richard Middleton
Vivian—Maxwell
The Invader—Margaret Woods
Portrait of a Lady—Henry James
Multitude & Solitude—Masefield
I havent read this last but am told it’s good. Most of my suggestions are good rather than thrilling, but I’ve got fun out of all of them, and I expect you will provide yourself with the bad and easy!
Mikky is the man to aply† to, he knows everything, but I should think would be even more stodgy in his reccomendations† than me.
