Just finished Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh, and I'm revisiting Burke's Reflections

I absolutely love Decline and Fall. Incredibly funny. Depending on the day you ask me, I might just say it’s my favourite Waugh novel.

It's an excellent book. I annoyed everyone I live with by incessantly reading it aloud to them. I certainly plan on reading more Waugh in the future.

It was actually the first one I read by him, having been gifted it by my mother for my birthday, so I have a sentimental attachment to it that probably even further heightens my estimatation of it. Anyway, when you do return to Waugh, I’d highly recommend Scoop if you’re looking for more of his comic genius. Or you could always get stuck right into Brideshead Revisited!

I recently finished The Leopard. One of the most fantastic novels I have ever read, a peerless evocation of the human experience of change and continuity. The atmosphere of fading splendour, languor and decay is incredible - a brilliant recreation of a lost world - as are the descriptions of the Sicilian landscape.
