Kingsley Amis, 1954

Date read: 7/8/24

I almost quit this one about 1/4th the way through because it was not only boring, but painfully second-hand-embarasing. Like Napoleon Dynamite without the funny.

I'm glad I stuck with it because it ended up being an amusing and cute story. I don't know if it's a "classic" but it was a good read.
