Ahh the luxuries of reading in bed. You don’t realise how nice it is until you’ve done it again and you realised you missed it.
“I have been in the scholastic profession long enough to know that nobody enters it unless he has some very good reason which he is anxious to conceal”
This book was a fun and easy romp through the English “polite” society and their wild habits. The segues into school/prison was pretty wild but adds to the vibe of an easy read. You certainly don’t have to think too arduously whilst reading, which was nice. I defo now want to read Brideshead revisited even more now though.
“I don’t believe people would ever fall in love or get married if they weren’t told about it”
