I will DPL myself, but I will of course need a MC :mrgreen:

I think I might have accidentally messed up on giving it the correct genre. I think it actually should be Nonfiction/Humor or Fiction/Humor. I am not sure if Trollope's satirical observations would be considered fiction or not :hmm:

I know there isn't a MW yet, but could I lay claim to Sections 1 and 8 (the first and last chapters?) I do enjoy Trollope's sense of humour. (I'd call this non-fiction myself.)

Thanks,
Winnifred

Readers Wanted:
Where the Blue Begins by Christopher Morley (humorous novel about a "Synthetic Hound" named Haphazard Gissing I.)
