- Moll Flanders EnglishMoll narrates her own crimes and marriages like a shopkeeper doing inventory, and her total lack of shame becomes weirdly endearing. The prose runs on without chapter breaks and can feel like one long confession, but if you like a shrewd, unsentimental survivor, she's good company.
- Richard II EnglishRichard is unbearable while he's winning and mesmerizing once he starts to lose, talking himself into and out of kingship in some of the most musical verse Shakespeare wrote. It's all poetry and no sword fights, so come for the language or not at all.
- The Origin of Species saggistica EnglishYou get a patient, surprisingly companionable argument built from pigeons, barnacles, fossils, and the awkward facts natural selection has to explain. The prose is dense and sometimes repetitive, but reading Darwin think his way through objections makes the living world look less fixed and more wonderfully negotiable.
