The Clothes They Stood Up in and the Lady and the Van by Alan Bennett

5.0

I read this after seeing a short Alan Bennett play performed in Scotland at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (sorry for the name dropping!) and after watching "History Boys." Alan Bennett is wry, dry, and snarky English intellectualism at its best. Always entertaining and erudite, you'll feel like you've gotten a glimpse into the ways which the English take any oddity into stride and you'll feel smarter, too.
