Reading Experience:
Evidence:
‘November 27 I have decided to make this diary my chief personal record of the war ... The chief drawback is – as I have found ever since I joined the press – that writing or acquiring information takes so much of my time that I have almost ceased to read. Other ways of learning have to take the place of reading ... Well – one can’t have everything. It is a great life and after all one is learning half the time even if not from books.’
