Total pages read for October was 1,295.
I finished Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. Thankfully I don’t feel the need to ever read it again!
I started and finished H. Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines and Franklin Dixon’s Hardy Boys Great Airport Mystery. Interestingly Haggard wrote KSM seeking to write something as enjoyable as Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. He pulled it off.
I started reading George MacDonald’s Unspoken Sermon’s but stopped after about 30 pages. I may come back to it some day.
I have also commenced David Benner’s Surrender to Love and the somewhat-larger The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.
