Reading Experience:
Evidence:
Fortunately books are fairly plentiful and I keep my own books (“Dombey & Son” and “Three Musketeers”) for the time when I am in a place which nobody has left any books. I have just got through J.M. Barrie’s “Sentimental Tommie”, and I am now dipping into “Sketches by Boz”. So the literature is up to a fairly high standard.
