Edith Wharton

[Moira]

I don't think I've ever met anyone who's read all of Wharton, but I could be wrong. Also, it is going to have to be up to someone else to create the Henry James and/or Jonathan Franzen topics.

Wharton has a lot of novels and stories as well. I've come nowhere near reading all of them but would like to read more.

I'm up to 9.

top favorites of the 9?

If you haven't read her ghost stories, do so! They are a treat, and show a different side of Wharton. Love her short stories in general for the variety of social types.

[Jessica]

you're right about the stories. I haven't read many of them though--should read more--and I have a collection of her ghost stories.
et toi, lg?

The Custom of the Country and Ethan Frome. Probably The House of Mirth too. I see I gave "Mirth" 3 stars, but that was way back when I was a very hard grader and handed out 3's like candy. I need to reread "Mirth" and I'm sure it would get a 4 or a 5 now.

I plan to read all the ghost stories, and all the regular stories. I don't think I've read a single story by her yet.
