Book Excerpt: ou might call a perfect harmony had prevailed. Friendly gossip between employer and employed, and everything as sweet as a nut. But at this juncture, I regret to say, there was an unpleasant switch. The atmosphere suddenly changed, the storm clouds began to gather, and before we knew where we were, the jarring note had come bounding on the scene. I have known this to happen before in the Wooster home.The first intimation I had that things were about to hot up was a pained and disapproving cough from the neighbourhood of the carpet. For, during the above exchanges, I should explain, while I, having dried the frame, had been dressing in a leisurely manner, donning here a sock, there a shoe, and gradually climbing into the vest, the shirt, the tie, and the knee-length, Jeeves had been down on the lower level, unpacking my effects.He now rose, holding a white object. And at the sight of it, I realized that another of our domestic crises had arrived, another of those unfortunate clashes of will betRead More

How many books make you laugh out loud today.
Wodehouse's books contain some of the broadest, most imaginative and most enjoyable imagery and his original use of simile is unique.
If you have never read Wodehouse you are missing a treat. You will have to search hard to find his equal anywhere else in the whole of English literature."

Magic
Do you know any other author who could so intricately weave the life of newts and a temperamental french chef into a love story set in the English countryside? Wodehouse was a magician. Right Ho Jeeves was my first foray into the rarified atmosphere of sublimely crafted Wodehouse humour. Although set in a time many decades ago, the story is like a time capsule, merth is liberated with the turning of each page. Its a cracker and you'll be hooked on Wodehouse. I've have bought and read two more of his books within three weeks.
