Have just finished one of the books on the list - Brideshead Revisited which I started on Friday night. It took a bit to get going and though I am a philistine, it’s not quite as good as I expected a classic like this to be. In fact, I much preferred Evelyn Waugh’s other famous masterpiece Scoop. However, I’m glad I read it as it’s an interesting insight into the changing times experienced by people in the decadent 20s before moving to the war period and a great story about an eccentric family and the facade they put up in the face of problems of adultery, alcohol and religion.
Now for the next book on the list...
