Victorians! discussion

I am wondering if anyone here has read any of Paul Collins (or listened too) reviews or books. He is often on NPR. He is a history, Victorian literature writer. He is the editor for the "Collins Library" published through McSweeney's. The books are re-published Victorian era books. I just finished To Ruhleben And Back. He also republished: The Lunatic at Large, by J. Storer Clouston; The Riddle of the Travelling Skull, by Harry Stephen Keeler; Lady Into Fox by David Garnett.

Paul is also the author of Sixpence House. He is such an interesting author, but I haven't delved into the Collins Library.

Sixpence House is one of my 'comfy slippers' book. I absolutely love it! I love how he vears off on forgotten historical trails. I actually have tried to find a number of the books he's mentioned in it and other books he's written:
Banvard's Folly: Thirteen Tales of People Who Didn't Change the World
The Trouble with Tom: The Strange Afterlife and Times of Thomas Paine
Not Even Wrong: Adventures in Autism
The Book of William: How Shakespeare's First Folio Conquered the World

I haven't read any of the other books, but The Lunatic at Large is pretty entertaining. Elizabeth, did you like To Ruhleben And Back? Sounds really interesting.

I've only read Not Even Wrong, which I loved.
