> Can you name three titles that you would recommend?

I can recommend some authors from the period: W Somerset Maugham, Thomas Hardy, Anthony Trollope, H Rider Haggard, Wilkie Collins, Saki, Maupassant, O Henry.

Dickens, Hugo, Austen, Eliot, Bronte, Wilde, Doyle, Poe, Melville, Verne, Stevenson, Wells, Christie, Chesterton, Burroughs, Lovecraft, Chekhov, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy etc are probably well-known.

The list could go on forever, almost. Some books might feel dated (or too long). But that is fine.

> how did you get into this?

I started reading when I was 3-4 and never stopped. We moved to the suburbs when I was 7-8 (late 80s) and there wasn't much else to do outside of school except read. Built a physical library of close to 4,000 books along the way, but I mostly read at the computer or on e-devices
