My reading resolution for 2011 is to finish reading all of Trollope’s 47 novels. The short stories and non-fiction will have to wait ’til next year.
Here’s the current tally:

- The Eustace Diamonds
- Phineas Redux
- He Knew He Was Right
- The Way We Live Now
- Lady Anna
- Is He Popenjoy?
- Rachel Ray
- Linda Tressel
- Cousin Henry
- The Vicar of Bullhampton
- Kept in the Dark
- Miss Mackenzie
- The Belton Estate
- The Claverings
- The American Senator
- John Caldigate
- The Prime Minister
- The Duke’s Children
- Ayala’s Angel
- The Fixed Period
- Dr Wortle’s School
- An Old Man’s Love
- The Warden
- Barchester Towers
- Doctor Thorne
- An Eye for an Eye
- Framley Parsonage
- The Small House at Allington
- The Last Chronicle of Barset
- Marion Fay
- Mr Scarborough’s Family
- Nina Balatka
- Sir Harry Hotspur of Humblethwaite
- Harry Heathcote of Gangoil
- The Struggles of Brown, Jones and Robinson

- The Landleaguers (done it!) 🎉
You can discover my favourites and those I’d happily never read again.
UPDATE: Revisiting this post 14 years later, I realise I didn’t write up four of the novels. This is probably for the good reason that I needed to get on with my thesis (which wasn’t about Trollope) 🧐 I’ll pursue a much more modest challenge in 2025, re-reading and reflecting on Linda Tressel, Kept in the Dark, Orley Farm, and The Three Clerks.
