Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'On the dressing table were three books, my own, "Sanders of the River", Snowden's "Wages and Prices", a relic of my student days, and "The Book of Mormon" which had been given me by a Mormon missionary. I picked up "Sanders" and got back into bed. I didn't read much of it. I could not concentrate, so continued to smoke and gaze around the room.'
