Hanging Around Until
'Education is hanging around until you've caught on' - Robert Frost.
Set during the mid-1980s, Hanging Around Until is the story of Paul Carr, who, at the age of 28, decides to become a mature student at a North-Eastern university in the hope that an education will help give a direction to his life. On arriving at the university Paul discovers he is to share a house with five other students. Two of those housemates – Alison and Julia, each in their own way – turn Paul’s simple quest for an education into a tangle of confusion and uncertainty amid the turmoil of university life during the height of anti-Thatcherite campus activism and the birth of the new Left.

Definitely didn't get a big payoff from reading this book. The last few chapters weren't written very well, still not sure what happened ultimately b/c the language detailing it just isn't there. It was offered free on Amazon and I got my $'s worth.
