Many thanks for the recommendations. I look forward to following up on them.
Lionel Trilling's "The Liberal Imagination" had some interesting reviews and essays. In particular, "Tacitus Now", "The Immortality Ode" and "F. Scott Fitzgerald".
I'm just starting Alberto Manguel's "A History of Reading". A wonderful book. A charming description of the author as a teenager reading to Jorge Luis Borges.
