Dec. 10th, 2014 08:18 amWhat I’ve Just Finished Reading
Paula Byrne’s Mad World: Evelyn Waugh and the Secrets of Brideshead, which I already wrote a bit about last week and which is very much of a piece with what I wrote. If you’re interested in either interwar Britain or Evelyn Waugh it’s interesting, but it’s probably not going to blow your mind. (It did give me a vague yen to read Waugh’s book Put Out More Flags so that’s something.)
And...that’s it. I haven’t gotten much reading done this week. :(
What I’m Reading Now
A. S. Byatt’s Possession, which is interesting but slow. The writing style is very dense, so it takes me a long time to read, although so far it’s been worth it.
What I Plan to Read Next
I have Barbara Hambly’s Crimson Angel! I’m pretty excited about that.
And I’ve also gotten my paws on a copy of Isabella Holland’s Trelawny, which IIRC was one of the books that spawned Modern Gothic, so it should be an interesting read.
