  Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
  The Doctor's Sweetheart: Just because I am an old woman outwardly it doesn't follow that I am one inwardly. Hearts don't grow old—or shouldn't. Mine hasn't, I am thankful to say. It bounded like a girl's with delight when I saw Doctor John and Marcella Barry drive past this afternoon.

  "I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours."
  
  Meet J., Harris, and George—three quintessential Victorian gentlemen who convince themselves they are suffering from "overwork" and every malady in the medical dictionary (except housemaid's knee). Their cure? A leisurely rowing trip up the River Thames from Kingston to Oxford. Accompanied by the world's most cynical fox terrier, Montmorency, the trio embarks on a journey filled with disastrous cooking, tangled tow-lines, unreliable barometers, and the eternal struggle of opening a tin of pineapple without a tin-opener.
  
  The Comedy of the Everyman: Jerome K. Jerome's genius lies in his ability to find the universal in the mundane. Whether it's the chaotic attempt to hang a picture by Uncle Podger or the legendary "Cheese" story that drives an entire train carriage to madness, the humor is as fresh and relatable today as it was in the 1880s.
  
  A Love Letter to the Thames: Between the slapstick and the satire, the novel contains beautiful, lyrical descriptions of the river. It captures a specific moment in British history when the Thames was transitioning from a commercial highway to a place of leisure and "messing about in boats."
  
  A Timeless Remedy for Stress: Three Men in a Boat remains the perfect antidote to the "seriousness" of modern life. It celebrates friendship, the absurdity of human nature, and the idea that the best stories come from the things that go spectacularly wrong.
  
  Pack your bags (but leave the heavy cheeses behind). Purchase "Three Men in a Boat" today and laugh your way up the river.

  As the interminable case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce grinds its way through the Court of Chancery, it draws together a disparate group of people: Ada and Richard Clare, whose inheritance is gradually being devoured by legal costs; Esther Summerson, a ward of court, whose parentage is a source of deepening mystery; the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn; the determined sleuth Inspector Bucket; and even Jo, the destitute little crossing-sweeper. A savage, but often comic, indictment of a society that is rotten to the core, Bleak House is one of Dickens's most ambitious novels, with a range that extends from the drawing rooms of the aristocracy to the poorest of London slums.

  "The Pink Stocking" by Anton Chekhov is a short story that unfolds on a dreary, rainy day with Pavel Petrovitch Somov, feeling bored and restless, pacing in his study. His wife, Madame Somov, is described as a pretty little lady wearing a light blouse and pink stockings, busily writing a letter to her sister Varya. Curious and looking for a distraction, Somov asks to read the letter and, while initially disinterested, he becomes increasingly concerned and confused as he progresses through the pages. Upon finishing the letter, he reacts with shock and disbelief, flinging the sheets on the table and uttering that the content is "beyond anything" and "positively incredible." The story hints at a marital dynamic filled with secrets and perhaps suggests that Madame Somov has written something unexpected or alarming, leaving both the character and the reader with a sense of perplexity and intrigue.
