Actually, since next year I will be teaching in Compton, CA, through Teach for America, Decline and Fall has recently become my favorite Waugh novel.

The only "Decline And Fall" I ever read was "Decline And Fall of the Roman Empire" by Gibbons but what do I know since I am one of those terribly impolite yahoo populist conservatives. Oh, did I mention that it was the unabridged edition? I read it while traipsing around Europe. And remember, I said it was the UNABRIDGED edition (in the original Latin).

I'm SHOCKED....absolutely shocked that there is vituperousness in the establishment!!!!

Decline and Fall is a hilarious novel by Waugh about the trials and tribulations of an Oxford man, kicked out of his beloved college, and forced to teach at a barely respectable public school (this does not mean a state school, in England, public schools are private schools)...it is a riot.
