Gibbon's Decline and Fall (the 3 ed. complete set)

No idea how I'll resist this though:

Past @CullmanNYPL Fellow Damion Searls has translated Anniversaries by Uwe Johnson from the original German, quite a feat! @nyrbclassics is publishing it as a 2 vol boxed set in Oct 2018, and until then we have this beautiful excerpt, “The End of Summer, 1967”. pic.twitter.com/xdRp91SEGj

After Micromegas, try Adam Roberts: Swiftly, which is a sequel to both that and Gulliver's Travels

Been curious about Roberts but have thus far not read a thing
