September 2026: Anthony Trollope

And to close the quarter, we stay in the Victorian era (moving back in time a bit though) with Anthony Trollope (1815–1882).

He wrote pretty much everything: 47 novels (including the 2 6-books cycles Chronicles of Barsetshire and the Palliser novels), an autobiography, a ton of stories, short and long non-fiction and plays (he never published any poetry though).

He is an old favorite and I had not decided what I am going to read this time around.

What do you plan to read? And had you read him before?

I have read the Barchester Chronicles and enjoyed them immensely. I hope to start on the Pallisers.

Commenting to hopefully remind myself of this read. I have the Barchester Chronicles books downloaded and ready. I have never read Trollope before and hope I enjoy him enough to read his entire oeuvre.
