Brideshead Revisited

I just read the funniest line (eva) and I probably made my roommate think I'm a lunatic, because its 2:15 in the morning and I'm in my boxer-briefs laughing like a freak:

We were joined by a Belgian Futurist, who lived under the, I think, assumed name of Jean de Brissac la Motte, and claimed the right to bear arms in any battle anywhere against the lower classes.

Anyone who has never read Evelyn Waugh should really get one of his books, because it will be fairly serious story and you will just come across these lines that are so scathingly hilarious and beautiful. I really don't often laugh out loud to things I read in books, but I think that has happen four or five times so far with this book. (Don't worry, I haven't stopped with "Jude The Obscure". I just wanted to read something a little more light-hearted).
