I have not. All my fictional reading has been Evelyn Waugh of late, and if I take a break it's to read nonfiction.

Tbh I didn't care for Girl, 20 that much so Lucky Jim isn't an immediate priority. I'll probably get to it eventually though. My goal is to read 100 books this year.

this is a definite xoxo book. cynical, fraudulent academic drinks his way through work, inadvertently impresses the right people, and somehow nabs a foxy younger woman while fucking over a striver douchebag in the process.

The only other novel of his I have read was "One Fat Englishman" which was okay and had its zany moments but was not as good. I have had "The Green Man" on my shelf and have been meaning to read for years.

I have a compilation work "On Drinking" which has some great bits including the piece about metaphysical hangovers that has been reproduced on xo. The rest is crap or filler. I also have his English language usage guide "The King's English" which is a good lark but hard to just sit down and read. More like a reference work.

yeah, i think ultimately he's revered more as a personage and all-purpose cultural critic than a fine writer. he outlines a uniquely british erudite smartass type

I read "On Drinking". The one thing I remember from it is that he just drinks straight gin all the time and considers everything else to be faggot.
