My 1905 Harpers set of Hardy novels is almost complete.
Aside from having read the major novels Jude, Tess, Far from the Madding Crowd, and Mayor of Casterbridge---plus various bios---in the past 6 months (in various editions), I've also embarked on reading all of his novels in the order published, from the complete 1975 Wessex Edition: I recently finished his first, Desperate Remedies, and just started on the second, Under the Greenwood Tree.
I almost have all of the poetry in individual volumes. (And, lordy, I am not looking forward to tackling The Dynasts, whatever genre THAT might be considered...)
And I just bought a wooden frame and some postcards from the UK to go in it, to crown the whole collection.
