> [@marque elf](#): > > **Hilarity N. Suze** is this a novel? The o.p. limitsplayable books to fiction only. I thought it was but, in fact–no. It’s biography. I looked at it too quickly for the purposes of this thread. It’s only been sitting on my book pile since August and all that time I thought it was a historical romance. So can I humbly submit _Wilde West_ by Walter Satterthwait–which is definitely fiction–or should I just slink out of this thread? ---
