Decline and Fall (Evelyn Waugh)

Evelyn Waugh
Decline and Fall 

A book I borrowed from Bruce not really thinking that I'd enjoy but it's extremely readable and very funny in parts. A lot about ones lot in life related to social class and about our hero who is fairly naive but who takes the batterings of life on the chin and just gets on with it. Some pithy characters and funny scenes. Possibly an influence for Tom Sharp? Good and although I wanted to read more (it's short) a week later I'm not clamouring for further Waugh stories to be brought to me wrapped in Christmas paper. I'll read the next when I chance upon it as I did this one. And much like our hero did.
