I love this! And kudos to the director for not saying anything.

Yeah, I do want to make something of it. I'm reading that goddamned Brideshead book right now and it's one of the blandest experiences of my life. How dare you try and inject some interest into it by telling funny stories from your past.

I must admit that if I picked it up now, I probaby wouldn't be as charmed by it as I was at 14. (Hey, now I can read about real gay characters instead of faintly-hinted-at ones!)

Maybe that's why I'm having trouble with it. I did everything backwards you see. I read *you* when I was 14 and I'm reading this now as a so called adult. Oh the irony! Although to be fair I have to say that I think at this point in the text its pretty fucking obvious that Charles and Sebastian are sucking cock in the back of a model T. I'm convinced all the arguments I've come across online as to why this isn't so are in fact all written and posted under various pseudonyms by the same person - an overly determined basement nerd - in what has got to be the best case of nerd rolling I have ever seen.

Also, no one should listen to my opinion of books ever. You might be just as equally charmed now as you were years ago.

My, 'Sebastian', was, Jack. Heh.
