Comments on the Collection |
I now have all the flex titles published, but many are in S8 and later bindings. I only need the Fineman book to have all the MLs published through 1939!

How Many Modern Library books have I read?: 194
I've read close to 200 of the Modern Library books and only rated 18 "poor" and 32 "fair." That's a great percentage of good reading by my account. I am reading many of them in the order in which the ML published them. I have read my way through 1928 and have four left to go from 1929. Next up: Peter Whiffle by Carl Van Vechten. But I also read others outside the chron. And the next one outside the chron will be Traven's Treasure of Sierra Madre.
