Review: P.G. Wodehouse : Five Complete Novels

P.G. Wodehouse : Five Complete Novels by P.G. Wodehouse

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Why am I reading Wodehouse? Doug Wilson mentioned him one too many times, and I’m glad he did! Of this volume I’ve read The Return of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster Sees It Through. Both afforded plenty of laughs and delightful turns of phrase. I look forward to picking it up again to read the other three novels included.

Definition of an Optimist

Hmm, that last post reminded me of one of my favourite jokes (I now risk revealing how corny my sense of humour is):

Question: What is the definition of an optimist?

Answer: An accordionist with a pager.

I heard it from one of the Fairfield boys when he was emceeing at a wedding. He had a corny sense of humour too!
