The Pleasures of Reading

Mr. Littlejohn by Martin Flavin (Harper & Bros., $2.50 and also Penguin Books, 25 cents) is plain fun and good relaxation for anybody. It hasn't anything to do with alcoholics or A.A. except that Mr. Littlejohn comes pretty close to the same kind of conclusions that characterize those who practice A.A. It's a thoroughly charming look into a man's mind and his quest for the answer to life--just the type of entertainment that makes a perfect Christmas stocking gift.
