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.

I don’t read Trollope, though
@lfeatherz does. I’m more of an Americanist - reading Melville’s Confidence-Man now. -
Trollope is wonderfully entertaining. Tolstoy admired him. Some of the BBC adaptations very good, too, e.g. The Way We Live Now & Pallisers.
