Reading Experience:

Evidence:
[Campbell is describing entering a German dugout captured after a successful offensive] 'Their home was very like one of ours, maps and pictures stuck on the walls, shelves cut out of the earth, a sheaf of orders on the hook, newspapers on the table, a half-written letter, a pair of spectacles. I looked at their books, but I could not tell whether they were like ours, whether they were novels or not.'
