Ah, that is great! Of Trollope's 47 novels, next on my list is Small House at Allington because it seems to be universally recommended as his best. I ran into a critical piece about Trollope being a lesser Dickens and being very predictable, and I don't like Dickens so I thought that was an unfair comparison.
I've read The Rector's Wife, that's the one that got me turned on to J. Trollope. And it's a wonderful TV production. I'm pretty sure I've read The Men and The Girls. I am currently finishing Daughter in Laws and remember why I gave her up--it drags on and on, people acting rather badly. Or acting without insight into themselves.
Need to get back to Pym novels. It's been a decade since I read a new Pym. Toward the end of her publishing period I did not read all of her stuff so have that to explore.
Florence--That book about Detroit is perfect for me, I've now got it on hold at the Library. You gave a great summary of it!
Jane--I'll try that true crime book. I O'd on those years ago, but that one might be good.
