Many moons ago, when I had received one of those 'settlements' from the ebook pricing lawsuits, I acquired all 12 volumes of Anthony Powell's wonderful 'A Dance to the Music of Time.'
Laid up this weekend with a pesky head cold, I am having a veritable ball romping through this engaging series, already into Book 4 'At Lady Molly's' -- it's like reading a soap opera written by an Oxford alumnus - dry wit and pointed observations.
If you embark on this literary journey, I highly recommend having Hilary Spurling's 'Invitation to the Dance' - a handbook of characters, places, and books/art works mentioned.
