I finished reading Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage yesterday. It was a quick read, being around 170 pages or so, and since it was a Reader's Digest edition, it was illustrated. It was good, but unusual in that the author did not refer to the characters by their names.
Today I started on Rudyard Kiplings The Jungle Book. It's the Everyman's Library edition, and illustrated. I also expect it to be a quick read.
