I'm bumping this thread because I feel like it does not get enough (read: hardly any) love. Here's some reccomendations:
The beautifully formatted Letters of Jane Austen Quote:
A House to Let with contributions from Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell and Adelaide Anne Procter. Quote:

I've enjoyed the books of essays written by A. G. Gardiner, Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson, The Dream of Gerontius by J. H. Newman, and books by Clarence Day.
My children have also enjoyed a number of the books produced by GrannyGrump. |

I'd like to recommend Willa Cather's A Lost Lady - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32255
I've read a good bit of Cather, and One of Ours is one of my favorite novels of the period. But this was a new read to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. From Goodreads: Quote:

Its been almost two years since I tried to resurrect this thread, so here I am, trying again:
The Collected Works of Virginia Woolf (updated in February of 2024) This volume collects the complete writings of Virginia Woolf : 8 novels, 3 ‘biographies,’ 46 short stories, 606 essays, 1 play, her diary and the letters. |

I need to give this some more thought, but in the meantime I'll tout the same member's, pynch's, wonderful and meticulous upload of James Joyce.

And while on the topic, I'd like to recommend Leonard Woolf's wonderful five-volume memoir. Each volume is short so it's not nearly the commitment of Virginia's and they're models of clarity and insight. |

I’m going to have to browse the MR library. I like to mix in a classic from time to time, and it’s about time.

On a light note I have greatly enjoyed the mobileread copy of Damon Runyon: A to Izzard.
