Yeah, the “Scoop the comic novel by Evelyn Waugh” Scoop. Somebody online was insisting that you can’t be a journalist without reading that book at least once, and while I have no real interest in being a journalist I was struck by the guy’s insistence. Plus, I’ve never actually read any Waugh*, so why not?
I’ll let you know how it goes. It’s supposed to be funny, so there’s that.
*Yes, I majored in English Literature. But I mostly did Shakespeare and some of the medieval/Renaissance stuff and a good bit of the 19th Century authors. Modern non-genre fiction is usually incredibly boring to me.
