Only read Decline and Fall, but it was pretty funny. A good middle of he twentieth century British comedic novel.

Apparently Brideshead Revisited is among those lines as well.

I've recently committed myself to reading all the books on that supposed "BBC book list" that has been floating around (largely as a facebook meme) recently.

I'd already read 32 of 'em, but I'm working my way through two more (Brideshead Revisited, which I'm enjoying, and The Wasp Factory, which I'm really not [and I don't think you're supposed to]). There's some absolute crap on the list as well (Bridget Jones' Diary? The Five People You Meet In Heaven?) but most of it is pretty good, and I think it'll expose me to a lot of good stuff that I wouldn't have read otherwise.
