102. King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard.
103. Range of Ghosts by Elizabeth Bear.
104. The Amateur Cracksman by E.W. Hornung. The first collection of stories about A.J. Raffles, cricketer and gentleman thief, and Bunny, his accomplice, confidant, and chronicler. The Raffles stories are similar in several respects to the Sherlock Holmes stories, but while they have more continuity and are perhaps funnier (and even slashier) than Conan Doyle's stuff, on the whole they aren't as good. As with the Quatermain stories, I'm not sure I'll read more of these, but they were diverting for a few days.
