Oh, Bertie! All these harebrained schemes! Hilarious! I always need vitamin Wodehouse for a good dose of healthy laughter and amusement. Carry on! Right, ho!- Jeeves, have you ever pondered on Life?- From time to time sir, in my leisure moments.- Grim, isn't it, what?- Grim, sir. All Bertram Wooster wants from life is a good night's sleep followed by a hearty breakfast, a whole day lazing at the Drones Club and maybe a vaudeville show in the evening, but troubles seems to gather around him like bees around honey. His favorite analogy is "landing in the soup", usually with a push from the long queue of friends and relatives who come knocking on his
Jeeves and the Impending Doom, the first story in Very Good, Jeeves! made me want to write humorous fiction. Not so much because of this particular story, which is hysterical, but because it was my introduction to Wodehouse. Somewhere between when Bertie "pronged a moody forkful" of the eggs and b. and when he announced, ". . . it seems to be a mere matter of time before I perpetrate some ghastly floater and have her hopping after me with her hatchet," I was hooked.There is so much to like about
In the dark ages before Goodreads (and its predecessors) to avoid accidentally reading the same book twice you would need to use your memory to figure out if you had read a given book before. In the vast majority of cases that was not difficult. Even if you had read a book twenty or thirty years before, it was likely you would at least have remembered having read itif not every or even any details of it. In a few rare cases I made mistakes and accidentally read a book a second time without
My, how I love P.G. Wodehouse. For unabashed, slightly dippy Anglophiles like me, the Jeeves-Wooster stories are a wonderful Brit fantasyland that could only be matched by a stay at Hogwarts. Bertie is a man of very little brain, whose magical powers include lots of money, leisure, an excellent liver, and a slim, clotheshorsy figure. Bertie's Lord Voldemort subs are friends who prevail upon him to housebreak, steal, "tick people off," or otherwise engage in socially awkward or illegal trickery,
Bought this early Penguin edition to add to the shelves and to read again.Never fails to make you laugh.Recommended.
Going into "Very Good, Jeeves," I knew five of its stories would be repeats for me -- they comprised another collection I read, "Jeeves and the Old School Chum" -- but it turns out I had already read all eleven of its stories. I'm not quite sure how this happened. I don't think I'd read this particular collection before, but it's possible I had and simply forgot. I blame this on Wodehouse, whose book titles were all so bloody similar: "Very Good, Jeeves," "Thank You, Jeeves," "Right Ho, Jeeves,"
