I liked Brideshead Revisited and his Rosseti biography. Very comfy, moreish prose. A proper aesthete. That's all I have to say.

I read Brideshead Revisited and didn't really care for it much.

His "Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold" is the best first-person account of psychosis I've read. A deep cut but worth the read if you're into that, and it is on gutenberg. It's accurate and also funny.

Havent read Evelyn but i remember him saying the Winston Smith should of drank and had sex with the proles in the bar instead of doing all the 1984 paranoia stuff.

I loved Brideshead but I've heard it's not really reflective of his typical oeuvre. Has anybody read his Sword Of Honor trilogy? I've heard those are good books.
