You have made some amazing progress on your list and read some marvelous books, Dave. I hope to start the Pallister series next month...maybe I will get to Eustace Diamonds before the end of the year. I need it for a challenge but don't want to read it out of order!

Bravo, Dave! I just finished the Barsetshire novels and looking forward to my next Trollope. Maybe I could squeeze He Knew He Was Right in before I start the Pallister series. :o)
