You can still see it with a small telescope

I don't know what you mean by interesting, but The Raffles books are easy and except for one are all short story collections. Warning for old views and probably not much good for English Lit courses. 'Treasure Island' was quite easy I think. There's someone on DW who is a fan of Stevenson's 'Kidnapped' too. 'Dracula' is short and there's a yearly reading thing centered around it.
