proxyfish | 3 comments I think this month I'll go heavy on the classics as I've read none so far this year! I plan to read:

Bulldog Drummond by Sapper
Service with a Smile by P.G. Wodehouse
Ashenden by W. Somerset Maugham
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick

And if there's time:

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne

I have to complete Richard Hanny's series (that Dagny kindly introduces me to,) but I'm not sure if I"ll have enough time to complete the series. Still, I'll try and read at least 1 or 2 in the series from where I left it last year:

1. Mr. Standfast
2. The Three Hostages

Nice list! I'll have to check into that Wodehouse book. I've read quite a few of his works, ..."


Thanks! I'm slowly making my way through the Blandings novels so this one is next up! I've missed reading Wodehouse this year.

I'm starting this challenge with a Steampunk novel by a friend, The Cogsmith's Daughter.

Such a simple and sweet book. Just didn't want it to end. I was enjoying London so much!!

Interesting collection, with three stories set in the 19th century. Many references to literature, authors and historical characters.
