I don't own any of these. But The Portygee struck a chord, as this is the term, not necessarily affectionate, for Portuguese immigrants to SE Massachusetts, where I spent my High School years. You can read the whole novel on Google Books, as it dates before the 1923 copyright cut-off. It is somewhat written in dialect, but not hard to read.
Maybe, all of these 1920 books can be read at Google Books. I don't know about Amazon Kindle.

Zilch, although it's possible I read the Kathleen Norris one a long time ago -- I remember reading her romances in my 20's.

I had an aunt born in the 20s named Mary Marie. I always thought that was strange, but now I'm wondering if somebody read the book.

I just finished The Great Impersonation. It's a fun spy novel. The only one I've read from this list.

Theodore Roosevelt's letters to his children
Finished reading: 27 August 2012
It is an incredible fact of life that only about 15 years ago people would write, send and receive hundreds of letters per year, while nowadays a letter written in long-hand is a rarity. Generations of children are growing up without receiving a letter, either from parents or friends.
Theodore Roosevelt's letters to his children is a collection of letters written by President Theodore Roosevelt to his children between 1898 and 1911.
The Roosevelt Family in 1903 with Quentin on the left, TR, Ted, Jr., "Archie", Alice, Kermit, Edith, and Ethel.
The Roosevelts had a large family. Despite his busy work as President, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt kept up a regular correspondence with his children, sending individual letter to Ethel, Ted, Jr., Kermit, and Archibald, "Archie". The letters are rarely about Roosevelt's work as President. They mainly address topics of interest to the children, at different ages, such as their reading of Dickens, and holidays. Many letters contain beautiful references to natural history.
Theodore Roosevelt's letters to his children were a bestseller in the United States, and are still very readable today.

I was just watching today's episode of the Rare Book Cafe. They claim that the third best selling book of 1920 was by Zane Grey and was called The Man of the Forest.
