One way I plan to enrich my #2018reading is to enjoy 20th-century #classic novels. Which ones of the following pairs should I try first:
Bellow: Humboldt's Gift, Henderson the Rain King
James: The Wings of the Dove, The Golden Bowl
Maugham: Cakes and Ale, Of Human Bondage
Mitford: Love in a Cold Climate, The Pursuit of Love
Woolf: To the Lighthouse, The Waves
