Poor Philip Larkin :0(

Am i right in thinking that Study of Reading Habits is about how Larkin found a great amount of escape in literature (especially fiction) and then over time as he discovered he related more to, "the dude/who lets the girl down before/ The hero arrives, the chap/ Who's yellow and keeps the store", and not as much to the hero "deal[ing] out the old right hook] he lost faith in books? I think so...he reminds me of a teenage boy with allot of self-pitty. emo!
