(The) Betrothed

Alessandro Manzoni, on WardroBe

This is supposed to be the first modern Italian novel, and th Italian equivalent of "War and Peace". It's still worth reading.

(The) Riddle of the Sands

Erskine Childers, on EmpiRe

I hadn't gotten around to thinking of an R yet when I looked at my email; Abebooks sent me some suggestions for can't-put-down thrillers as an alternative to Dan Brown's latest, and this was one. It's fair to use--I own it and have read it. It's about two young Englishmen on a sailing holiday on the continent who discover evidence of German preparations for WWI. It still reads well, and the sailing is good.

Solar Lottery

Philip K. Dick, on LoveRs

The Orwell is a book of essays, and among others there's one about Charles Dickens (very good) and one about Dali, so it's not quite as odd as it sounds.

Sidney Howard and Paul De Kruif, on HistorY. It's about yellow fever. I hadn't thought about that book for decades, but your post reminded me of it, Joan. I admit I had to check the authors. I was fairly sure of De Kruif, but didn't remember Howard.
