Kinda fascinating to see authors like Bram Stoker and Rider Haggard plugging away with work that is largely forgotten now. I had to go with my man E.M. Forster here, tho curious to read Natsume Soseki's take on the Arthurian mythos and all these Salgari pirate stories.

Wharton vs Soderberg for me, with Wells (Kipps) vs Forster vs Mann for 3rd place.
The Haggard and Wallace books are superior fun tosh.

― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Monday, 14 September 2020 13:28 (five years ago)

Soderberg is the only one I've read. Can't vote unless I've read more than three.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 14 September 2020 14:18 (five years ago)

Wharton is the only one I've read on this list.

― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Monday, 14 September 2020 15:04 (five years ago)

Big fat 0 for me.

― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Monday, 14 September 2020 16:42 (five years ago)

xp same here, will happily vote for it.

― neith moon (ledge), Monday, 14 September 2020 16:48 (five years ago)

Wharton's the only one I read as an adult -- Little Princess and the L Frank Baum one I read as a kid.

― sarahell, Monday, 14 September 2020 20:23 (five years ago)

The House of Mirth is one of my favourite books, so that. It's a masterpiece.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Btw, people might know Professor Unraut better as THE BLUE ANGEL, under which title it is sometimes published and was filmed.

― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 10:50 (five years ago)

The House Of Mirth is my favourite Wharton!

A worthy winner, but now I wish I'd given Doctor Glas by Hjalmar Soderberg my vote to show it some love :(

― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Thursday, 17 September 2020 03:32 (five years ago)

i've read a couple of others by EW, but not that one (ethan frome, age of innocence, some ghost stories)

― koogs, Thursday, 17 September 2020 12:14 (five years ago)

I've been put off The Age of Innocence since reading that it was something of an attempt to make amends for the harsh treatment of NY high society in The House of Mirth. Because wtf, HoM is the best and they deserved it.

― neith moon (ledge), Thursday, 17 September 2020 13:00 (five years ago)

Age of Innocence is also brutal towards NY high society tho...

― abcfsk, Friday, 18 September 2020 06:36 (five years ago)

maybe i was misinformed!
