Another magical, mischievous Thorne Smith classic. Though Thorne Smith's most popular works involve elements of fantasy and science fiction, the clever novel "Turnabout" takes his penchant for incorporating supernatural and magical themes in his work and puts one such plot twist to use as a comedic tool. A classic battle of the sexes, it was published in 1931 and follows a married couple who fall prey to the tricks of an Egyptian idol who grows weary of the seemingly never-ending spats between the Willows and causes them to switch bodies. As you might expect, hilarious hijinks ensue. The novel also inspired the last episode of the original series Star Trek, Turnabout Intruder.

This is both mystery and romance; the latter creates one of the recurring difficulties in Conrad: it preserves the Victorian histrionic element, which sometimes may seem a little attractive. But overall, it is well read and much less burdensome than some of his novels. The Rover was Conrad's last book and probably one of his most accessible stories.

A very good Christian book, which, nevertheless, speaks not so much about Christianity in itself, as about humanity, as the principle of life in general. If there were such a category as "social Christian romance", then this book would be one of the most remarkable examples. The book is attractive and not only because of the description of a non-ideal world, but also because of the author's attitude to his characters. There are no heroes in principle, there are only images. Very bright and understandable.
