"Should read something of his besides that pamphlet where he basically reiterates what Marx said and adds "BTW IT IS ALL THE WOMEN'S FAULT, INCELS OF THE WORLD UNITE"."
What was it btw? Yeah its a very unbalanced worldview to say the least ..

Poor showing if only two of the three men in the boat turn up to vote :(

The Bostonians is a masterly novel.
Not masterly enough for people to vote for, apparently.

Damn, missed this one. Would have been between casterbridge (my favourite hardy), germinal and three men in a boat so, I’m not sure I’d have lived the needle.

Pretty poor showing on this one.
A Study In Scarlet is such an odd book, the massive section in the middle where suddenly this is a story about Mormon settlers in the wild west, and no clue as to why for an age. This is on balance a good thing though. It's much better than The Sign of the Four, which is one of the most racist novels I've ever read.

Fans of Three Men On A Boat, I would recommend the sequel, Three Men on the Bummel, if you haven't read it already.
