I love the two Morley books, which I think I first read as a teenager. I also really enjoyed "The Man Who Was Thursday" - I have a review coming up in a few weeks for that one.

Over the years I've read several of his books though of course, my sieve of a memory has retained very little so I'm probably due for a good re-read at some point. <br /><br />My favorite though, is still BRIDESHEAD REVISITED. I remember that one best. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-56197146216412586172011-08-24T09:28:11.474-04:002011-08-24T09:28:11.474-04:00Kathy: THANK YOU, m'dear, much appreciated.

Jack of all trades, master of none. :)<br /><br />I know how you feel about checking out all the new recommendations - I feel exactly the same way when I see a list of books or even just one review that I like. Off I go to check things out. Very time consuming. The hours just fly by.<br />MUCH TOO quickly!<br /><br />But it's a fun preoccupation. I'll never read everything I want to.<br /><br />So I'll just have to be satisfied with what I CAN read.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-66656094083744450982011-08-24T03:16:55.222-04:002011-08-24T03:16:55.222-04:00Hello Yvette:

For us Evelyn Waugh will always be one of our all time favourite writers for wit, humour, excellent characterisation and, increasingly as time goes by, a valid insight into the social history of the 1920s and 1930s.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-43316650451868413432011-08-24T02:35:27.402-04:002011-08-24T02:35:27.402-04:00These books all look so amazing and entice me no e...These books all look so amazing and entice me no end, for all different reasons. I haven't read any of them, but many look like they could pull me right into their pages for days.<br /><br />You are an eclectic reader -- and one of the most well-read people I have ever known.<br /><br />I am going to write down several and look them up further online, tell an archaelogy student (a friend who retired and then went to school and took arahaelogy courses) about a few books, and an art buff about a few others.<br /><br />I haven't read anything by Morley, but those books look great, and I just found out he wrote a book with my name in the title. And I read a good review of it.<br /><br />Gosh, Yvette, this list and the prior several -- which I have to make lists of -- just are over-whelming. I feel like I'm stopping by a museum when I come here and I have to look at the exhibits -- all good.<br /><br />Now if I could stop sleeping, errands, tasks (housework is long lost) and just read for months, I might make a dent in these wonderful books.<br /><br />I just want a few days to explore these ten books online and read more about them.<br /><br />Thank you!
