New Year, New Books

I'd put off reading Jan Morris' Conundrum because I'd jumped to the conclusion it would be another "as told to" trans autobiography - like health food, good for you, but sometimes less than delicious. More fool me. Morris is a novelist and travel writer and her prose is delightful; and I have a weakness for the British countryside and college life (of which I also got a tasty dose in Christopher Isherwood's Lions and Shadows). Actually, that reminds me - it must be time to reread Watership Down.
