Anna of the Five Towns Arnold Bennett
Anna comes into a fortune on her twenty-first birthday and her miser father still won't let her spend a shilling of it, and Bennett makes you feel that quiet suffocation on every page. A small, sad, careful book about duty and money in the Potteries; slow, but it earns its heartbreak.
Don Quijote de la Mancha (Segunda parte) Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Español
In Search of the Castaways Jules Verne, translated by J. B. Lippincott & Co.
Verne at his most cheerful: a half-eaten note in a bottle sends Lord Glenarvan's crew chasing the 37th parallel around the globe, and the scatterbrained geographer Paganel (who boarded the wrong ship entirely) steals every scene. Pure adventure, earthquakes and condors included, no deep themes required.
