I've been on a British kick the past couple of weeks, reading:
Up at the Villa by W. Somerset Maugham
All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West
The Sea by John Banville
The Magus by John Fowles
The Green Man by Kingsley Amis
All of which were fair to good (excluding Amis, whom I don't care for.) The best reads were not British:
The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino
Man's Fate by Andre Malraux
Although the best book of the month was Tom Jones* by Henry Fielding: a fucking riot! The film was great too.
