I'm writing (for fun, mostly) a novel set in 1921 and so I've been doing research by reading as many novels written during that period as possible. Which thankfully are in the public domain.

Some are really terrible, some are pretty good. I'd like to stop reading the terrible ones.

Good ones I've read: The Moon Rock by Harold MacGrath, From Out the Vasty Deep by Marie Bellow Lowndes, Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo by William le Queux, the Austin Freeman novels/stories up to 1923, some of the Sax Rohmer stuff.

Bad: Well, I've deleted most of them, so I don't remember, but most of the Best British Short Stories of 1922. Only one was good, Seaton's Aunt by Walter de la Mare. F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tales of the Jazz Age was surprisingly tedious.
