book club: July recs!

[diet_poison]

Today, tomorrow, and Monday, taking recs for July! I have five so far, love to get at least one more!

***TITLE AND AUTHOR PLEASE!***

I already made two recs this month, so I'm going to hold back now. But I think, if no one else comes forward, it would be nice to include one public domain title. If I remember correctly, the five we have so far would all have to be purchased or borrowed from the library, so having one in there that's easily accessible for everyone would be great.

We're up to six, which isn't very many, and we close tomorrow, so if you'd like go ahead and lay that third one on me :)

All right, if you insist ;)

I've had Cousin Bette by Honoré de Balzac on my reading list for ages, so why not that? Free copy available at gutenberg.org

I recommended it this time last year, but:
Neil Munro's "Para Handy". It is a Scottish classic, and has been the basis of at least three BBC adaptations (not to mention being used as the source material for movie which -barely- changed the names to avoid paying royalties). It is a collection of short stories and novellas which chronicle the hijinks and escapades of the crew of the Puffer "The Vital Spark", one of a class of boats that in the late 19th and early 20th century connected the city of Glasgow with the remote Scottish communities of the islands and coastal communities of the West of Scotland. It is well worth a read, and it is a master class on the use of dialect and phonetic accent in fiction.

Specifically this edition:
http://www.amazon.com/Para-Handy-Neil-Munro/dp/1841582271/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465123527&sr=8-1&keywords=neil+munro
