I consumed far too many one summer and have been rationing myself every since. It's frustrating, but in a good way. I haven't read any Wodehouse this year, so maybe <i>Aunts Aren't Gentlemen</i> will be my indulgence for 2010. Though I must admit that my natural preference is for Psmith over Jeeves and Wooster.Claire (The Captive Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07430380065718826213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-60664987980842800112010-03-24T00:51:10.433+00:002010-03-24T00:51:10.433+00:00I almost put this title on my list!

My first Jeeves was Right Ho, Jeeves, so it remains one of my favorites. I read How Right You Are Jeeves last week, and told my dear friend that everybody ought to have at least a once-a-month dose of Wodehouse. Laughter is good medicine, after all. :)<br /><br />BTW, if anyone hasn't seen it, the bookdepository.uk is doing a giveaway of all 70 of the current Wodehouse hardbacks - there's a few trivia questions to answer to enter. It's on their homepage. (Imagine increasing your library by 70 and not impacting your "24," Simon!) :)Susan in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550766549670690646noreply@blogger.com
