It's very appropriate that there are so many straw men noted in this TS Eliot thread

Sam, very interesting link on Larkin -- thanks. I wondered why he continued writing those lesbic schoolgirl novels. Google books is great value, isn't it? Most books there are almost complete, and it makes it easier to assess whether you want to buy a book or trek to the library to borrow it. But in nine out of ten cases I find the bit I want in the Google books version. Plus you can have your own little list of favourites to conveniently go back to.
