He is certainly an excellent writer, and I thank you for the recommendation. It's a cliche thing to say but I'm startled he is not more well known. It is strange: I did a two year M.A. on Modernist lit. as well as about a third of my degree and never once did I find mention of him.
I need to read T.E. Lawrence myself. I will try and track down a copy of The Seven Pillars.
Today I just started de Tocqueville's Democracy in America, which will keep me busy for some time.
