Rick: That would be “Framley Parsonage.” I know what you mean about
Trollope. It doesn’t do to read two or three of his books at a sitting.
You start to get the feeling that you could cut up his stuff and sell it by
the yard. (Which, in fact, is sort of how he wrote them.) Best to leave
long intervals between Trollopes. But tell me: How do you manage to read
on the beach? I cannot read–read a book, I mean, as opposed to a copy of
NEWSWEEK– (a) in a garden, (b) on a beach, or (c) in a plane. I have been
trying all three for years, but can’t master any of them. What’s the trick?
