Reading:
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
There are many different illustrated covers of this book and I really enjoy the varying styles. I love this story of desire and loss and have been really enjoying this book to the point where I am still thinking about the characters when I’m not reading it. It was also made into a movie.
