Wharton vs Soderberg for me, with Wells (Kipps) vs Forster vs Mann for 3rd place.
The Haggard and Wallace books are superior fun tosh.

Soderberg is the only one I've read. Can't vote unless I've read more than three.

Wharton is the only one I've read on this list.

Wharton's the only one I read as an adult -- Little Princess and the L Frank Baum one I read as a kid.

The House of Mirth is one of my favourite books, so that. It's a masterpiece.

Btw, people might know Professor Unraut better as THE BLUE ANGEL, under which title it is sometimes published and was filmed.

The House Of Mirth is my favourite Wharton!

A worthy winner, but now I wish I'd given Doctor Glas by Hjalmar Soderberg my vote to show it some love :(

i've read a couple of others by EW, but not that one (ethan frome, age of innocence, some ghost stories)

I've been put off The Age of Innocence since reading that it was something of an attempt to make amends for the harsh treatment of NY high society in The House of Mirth. Because wtf, HoM is the best and they deserved it.

Age of Innocence is also brutal towards NY high society tho...
