    About this ebook

    In this 1921 volume, Mais helps readers sort through the glut of fiction in the modern world—reminding them that good fiction does exist. His survey of world literature finds much to admire in classic and contemporary fiction, and points to Tom Jones, Wuthering Heights, the works of Boswell, Pepys, Aldous Huxley, E. M. Forster, Montaigne, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and others.

      A Year in Reading: Kamil Ahsan

      A Year in Reading: Garth Risk Hallberg

      Dec 3, 2017

      One thing you could always say for me: I was a finisher. I may not have been a great reader, but by God I was dogged, and if I made it through the opening 10th of a book, then I was going all the way to the end. Though this started as merely an incli
