One finds oneself astounded at Amery's erudition, and this serves to lull one into a sort of trance while reading this book. Suddenly one awakens to discover that he has led one to the point of considering death in all its negative negation. Yes, I die makes sense only in the past tense - died.
A most stimulating book, that like youth will probably be wasted on the young. That being said, the aged while relish its quiet insights.
