Just finished Helena by Evelyn Waugh, which he said was his favorite of all the books he'd written. Hadn't read it in years, and enjoyed it very much. Have now started in on Scoop by the same author, one of my favorites by him. I've read it at least half a dozen times over the past 50 years.
Waugh's writing never fails to knock me out; lapidary prose polished to a dazzling finish. He is such a pleasure to read.
