Read, unfinished, hated

Look - Thomas Love Peacock. 134 titles? Have I missed something? There was odd formatting with ff s and fi s. I've read 16.

Ah Peacock... I suppose most of his main novels are about the state of the nation, though a case could be made for the inclusion here of Gryll Grange with its focus on The March of Mind.

Meanwhile, where's Wolfe? Thomas not Tom.
