Books I've Read

James Dixon is a lecturer at a British college in the late 1940s or VERY early 1950s. He is not getting on at his job, and a number of personal difficulties arise. Someone on some social network I can't remember said it was very funny. John Mortimer says on the back cover that "Amis was a genuine comic writer, perhaps the best after P.G. Wodehouse." I do like me some Wodehouse, as they say - my Jeeves Omnibus has been read several times. Well, I could see where this OUGHT to be funny, but it didn't work for me.
