Very appropriate for a trip to California. Evelyn Waugh's seethingly cynical look at an Englishman's journey through the heart of Astroturf, pink flamingoes and pet cemeteries. Having just returned from not-that-glamorous Hollywood, I completely enjoyed this macabre yet prescient look at American society through the eyes of one of the more satirically cold characters you'll ever see. Still, by the end, I was hoping to join him on his one-way ticket back to London.
