| The Franklins Tale | By: Chaucer | 14?? | Type: Novel |
| ?% : difficult to compare |
| Review : for me it's incredibly difficult to read. It shows me how today we are casual we are with words. We just throw them down; wheras in his day each word is calculated in a multitude of different ways so that each sentence has incredible depth. He choses them to make them rhyme, show the tone, refer to other well known stories etc. |

| Brazilian Adventure | By: Peter Fleming | 1933 | Type: Novel |
| 30% |
| Review : A boys own adventure from 1925 the ill prepared adventurers set off down the Amazon to look for the lost Major Fawcett. I found it a little boring, I suppose if it was fiction the ending would have been more exciting. As it was they went to look , but ran out of supplies so had to turn back. I did read about places I already knew in Brazil. |
