Record Number: 11959
Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'Since the war began I have read less because my working hours have been lengthened and ARP duties and various social activities leave me less leisure. My reading howver is much more purposeful (as I have no time to waste). I read little fiction now, but much political and social books. This is, I think a natural development, but much hastened by the war and the conditions which caused it.'
