#52: Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh
I love Waugh, and I loved Decline and Fall (to which this is a very, very loosey goosey sequel in that it has some of the same characters, but they are quite marginal and anyway this is about something totally different), and I even liked Bright Young Things, the movie (with That James McAvoy!) that they made based on Vile Bodies (albeit with a similarly sober but much more romantic ending), but for some reason Vile Bodies, with all its absurdism and over-the-top satire and ridiculously unlikeable characters, just didn’t sit right with me.
