Markd9528's Travels With English Classics, Lots in Translation

Without any forethought, I seem to have made a rather wide-ranging literary tour of our planet during April, May and June. I've even indulged in a bit of arm-chair space travel to Mars, Titan and other worlds in the Solar System, courtesy of Kurt V. Going a bit further, Stephen Hawking has helped me intellectually traverse the entire universe in space-time.
Favourites: Doctor Glas, The Tenth Man, Strangers on a Train, The Weary Blues, The Factory, The Cloven Viscount, A Woman's Story, A Dream Play, The Sirens of Titan, Botchan, Fair Play, 'Lust, Caution', The Autumn of the Patriarch, Xingu, The Real Inspector Hound, The Adversary, Sister Outsider. None of the works were disappointing, though several were quite weird.
