Bauer Books & Anthony Trollope 
The Way We Live Now [EPUB ebook] 

A great novel, perhaps Trollope's best. But it's not the one usually recommend to those who have never read Trollope and want to try him. For one thing, it's very long. For another, it's pretty dark. There are a lot of characters in this novel, and almost every one of them views money as the summum bonum. That, after all, is the way we live now.
