Dickens-style musings

[neadods]

I was wondering - There seems to be a fair amount of interest in "Discovering Dickens." Out of idle curiosity, are there any other authors you would consider reading on an installment basis?

(The fanzine part of my head is going "you could do this! It would be cool!" The rest of me is trying to throttle it. Unless there are folks out there who would be be interested in a sort of "Public Domain Gazette" with chapter installments, maybe some poetry. Because *somebody* out there reads this stuff. Somebody is keeping websites like Project Gutenberg and Kill Devil Hill running, not to mention print outlets like Dover Publications. Surely there's an itty-bitty niche that would be willing to pay postage for a tossoff installment version?)

Equally surely I've lost my mind, but you never know.

I've been reading James Joyce's 'Ulysses' that way for several months. It's sort of dadaist, taken in small chunks, a page at a time, but it's also fun to follow the word games and the millions of literary and historical references he's tucked into it that I'd probably skim over in the book itself -- though I bought the book so I can reread it.

it's the ONLY way to read Moonstone, Woman in White or Three Musketeers! I'd do ANY of those again and again.

Hmmm...let me think of some others
