it's funny how many committed leftists have the cultural tastes of, like, a 19th century minor aristocrat or bourgeois. they love reading balzac and trollope, read the financial press, listen to orchestral music and operas.

Ford Madox Ford is good! Lots of old European-American culture is good. To the extent that there is any there here, I think it's pretty much that people who read lots of books, often like books.

the Good Soldier is one of my favorite books, but I found Parade's End sort of maddening. any suggestions for a third novel?

Ford's Tories, like Edward Ashburnham and Christopher Tietjens, always see themselves as anachronistic. It makes you wonder if guys like Jameson didn't see the death of Toryism as depicted in Ford as a good thing!
