Luck Jim Kingsley Amis

Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis is one of my favourite books. It was his first novel that won the Somerset Maugham prize. Lucky Jim was on our English Literature course to study and was a great eyeopener to an anti-hero character who you just couldn’t help sympathising with and loving at the same time. One of the very few books I have ever read more than once, probably re-read about six times over the years and still feels fresh and makes me laugh.
