Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'I read more. But cannot concentrate on the type of literature I like, preferring now, a light novel or auto-biography to escape the present day. With the loss of "US" cling desperately to "The New Statesman" & "Nation" in the hopes of gleaning a few facts which newspapers and radio studiously avoid.'
