And the winner of the Classics Club spin is: Hall Caine's The Manxman. Like Le Fanu's The Cock and Anchor, this is a book that I've really wanted to read, but has always seemed a little longer than I'm in the mood for. So this has been a good kick to get me started. So far I'm finding Caine's style very readable, and he seems to have good perceptions of human psychology. Because I'm me, I will also be trying to track down the silent Alfred Hitchcock film version.
