Why read it?
2 authors picked The Waste Land as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I still get goosebumps when I walk along the banks of the Thames. And having studied it for o’levels I still know a lot of it by heart.
From Sally's list on the less obvious bits of London.
If you love The Waste Land...
