Fraid not. I only picked up
A Handful of Dust cos we're studying it in my tutorials this term, but I'd like to read more of his. I like that we've got more freedom in third year, we can write essays on pretty much anything we like. I'm thinking I'll twang Virginia Woolf in favour of stuff like Waugh, Pinter and Lawrence.
Have you read Anais Nin's
Henry and June? It's an account of her affair with Henry Miller... read half of it back in December. It's quite girly, but beautifully written, and it's pretty interesting comparing the Miller who wrote
Tropic of Cancer to the Henry she describes. It annoys me that magazines like
Cosmo are constantly pushing Nin as "erotica" alongside a load of guff chick lit - it's not in the same league at all.
