My Early Spring Reading List

I have given up my Denial Defoe reading for now and have added a few Pulp novels. Four Dr. Fu-Manchu novels toward the bottom of the list represent the pulp novels and there are my usual adventure and sea yarns within the mix.

The Mutineers, Charles Hawes
The Ghost Ship: A Mystery of the Sea by John C. Hutcheson
The Secret of the Island by Jules Verne
The Empire of the Ants, H. G. Wells
The Ghost Kings, Henry Rider Haggard
The Curse of Capistrano (The Mark of Zorro), Johnston McCulley
The Baum Plan for Financial Independence and Other Stories, John Kessel
In Search of the Unknown, Robert William Chambers
The Filibusters, Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne
Dutch Courage and Other Stories, Jack London
Alias the Lone Wolf, Louis Joseph Vance
The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu, Sax Rohmer
The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu,  Sax Rohmer
The Hand of Fu-Manchu,  Sax Rohmer
The Golden Scorpion, Sax Rohmer
