Looking for some old books with great storylines, nothing newer than 1920s if possible, I really enjoy old literature and want good story by MoosterChief2020916 Related: Literaturre from Ireland/U.K. Books where unsettling/new/unexpected customs and tribal groups emerge Classics/contemporary fiction from the German speaking region Books with a ocean setting (beach town, elements of surfing/free diving/ whales would be cool! ) A book that will blow my mind
