Kidnapped
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Interesting Book. Good adventure with lots of politics in it. The movies do not do it justice.

by Joseph Conrad
Very depressing. Not as racist as some people believe. Interesting adventure. Shows the attitudes at the time. Lots of symbolism. Very Good.
An Idyl of the East Side
by Thomas A. Janvier

by Edward Bellamy
I found this story of tragedy to be commonplace of any war-love-loss story. With a bit of glory of war propaganda. I was not too impressed.
Afterward
by Edith Wharton

by Mary Noailles Murfree
I found this story very hard to read. It was a chore to get through it.
''Le Monsieur De La Petite Dame''
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
I find this story slow and somewhat confusing. Not enough explanation of why the characters did what they did and meaning of terms. Notenough meaning as why they felt what they did.
''Surly Tim'' A Lancashire Story

Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy

Alice in Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll
The movies never did this book any justice. It has so much symbolism and innuendo Its remarkable
