Great selection.

I’ve read Ben Hur, & The Count of Monte Cristo. I even recited the latter’s great dual “wait & hope” theme when an interviewer asked about my latest read book.

Les Miserables has been sitting on my shelf for many years. May be, one day.

I’ve read John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath, but not East of Eden.

I’ve heard of Quo Vadis, but never knew it was a book title.

Thanks. You fired me on.
