Journal[]
Started it after finishing Pride and Prejudice and read it fairly quickly, it's only short. It wasn't anything new really, I kept forgetting it was from the 50s so some of it seemed strangely quirky before I remembered, with its modern cover and presentation it was easy to forget. I guess it was a trend-setter but I've read a great deal on all the subjects covered and it didn't enlighten me or anything. Good though! I got to page 108 out of 124 and skimmed to the end, I'm quite busy on placement and I wasn't compelled to read every page at that point.
