If you’re quick and you’ll review them. Visit BlogAPenguinClassic.co.uk.

I’m going to be reviewing an anthology of Imagist Poetry.

xD.

    Nice one, Dave. Thanks for the heads-up. I got Evelyn Waugh’s Men At Arms.

    It’s a great idea and, I think, will be great PR for Penguin and will (hopefully) stimulate some debate about the classics.

    It’s brilliant, isn’t it? I’ve never read Waugh before and very possibly never would have done.

    Definitely the way to do it instead of the chummy press release asking to advertise something sight unseen. Let’s hope others are watching.

    You’d never read any Waugh? Christ. Once you’ve read Men at Arms, read the other two books in the Sword of Honour, and then Scoop.

    Thanks for the tip. I’ve got Steinbeck ‘Once There Was A War’. I love war writing and Steinbeck so couldn’t think of a more perfect book.
