Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'For light reading I like biography and travel - I see there are one or two out about the South Seas that should be interesting - I've only read two American books that I thought any good: I can't stand this Park Avenue stuff...there's nothing worth reading these days - nothing - in fact I'm turning more and more to the old books.'
