It's 776 pages. In this edition, at least. Goal is to finish within the year. Jumping between this and other books sporadically, which is the main way I know to read books anymore.

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Anthony Trollope’s Sci-Fi #Victober #ProjectGutenberg

I’m reading through Anthony Trollope’s six volumes of the Chronicles of Barsetshire – you can check the links to the ebooks in my last year’s post here – and loving it, but for Victober I thought I would pick a more shorter, standalone book from the same author.

I came across The Fixed Period, which he wrote later in life and is considered a satirical dystopian novel. And this is so different from what he usually wrote that I got really curious and decided to pick it up. I’m still in the introduction, but I thought I would share the link to Project Gutenberg, where you can download the book. (No luck in finding it in a physical format, so thank you even more to Gutenberg volunteers!).

Also, although a satirical dystopian work, you may want to check your trigger content warnings.

The Fixed Period – Anthony Trollope can be downloaded here.

The understated, unselfconscious boosterism of this map's caption:

"Map showing location of interesting places"

(From The Flow of Time in the Connecticut Valley, by two geologists, George Bain and Howard Meyerhoff, originally published in 1942, republished in 1976)

These include an asbestos mine, several lead mines, and Mt. Sugarloaf, among other items.
