I finished reading
Lucky Jim yesterday, and have been continuing to enjoy it in retrospect. I keep thinking of scenes where one disaster is piled on top of another, and laugh out loud all over again.
How have I got through life to date without having read this hilarious book? I can't imagine! Hard to pick a favourite moment, though this one comes close, as Dixon contemplates the awful Bertrand Welch:
Quote:

For a moment he felt like devoting the next ten years to working his way to a position as art critic on purpose to review Bertrand's work unfavourably.

Other favourite moments have to include the matter of the bedclothes and the table, and of course Dixon's lecture on
Merrie England towards the end of the book.
I do hope everyone else gets as much enjoyment out of this book as I did. Thank you all for choosing it.
