Reading Update

(1) My Man Jeeves - P.G. Wodehouse

I have discovered an author that I love! Laugh-out-loud moments and all smiles as I read about the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his hilariously clever servant Jeeves. This book is a collection of short stories, about half of which are focused on Jeeves and Wooster, the other half on Wodehouse's early versions of the same characters. If you know nothing about Wodehouse, check out the Wiki article on him and then grab a story and enjoy.

New Year - Try Again!

As you can see from the lack of recent posts, I failed in my attempt to read 24 books last year. I dare say I came closer than the blog intimates, but I can't remember what the books were that I read, yet failed to comment on here. Anyway, I will once again try for 24 books this year, but will be altering slightly the way I comment on those books. One of the reasons for the lack of posts is that when I did finish a book, I had no desire to write a detailed account of my thoughts on it. So this year I reserve the right to write one-sentence or even one-word reviews of the books I read. In some cases no doubt, I will be so captivated by a book that I will find it necessary to pontificate at great length on its excellence and so in those cases, a lengthy review will occur. So wish me luck!
