As Evelyn Waugh ...Plum is the therapy we all need. As Evelyn Waugh said, Wodehouse's world is an unfallen one.<br /><br />Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry are the perfect Wooster and Jeeves on the Orwellian telescreen, and what a joy to read the original stories, which are even better.<br /><br />- Mack in TexasLawrence Hall, HSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906964306659335649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236054442623784970.post-88214051949272989412014-04-02T11:11:11.487-04:002014-04-02T11:11:11.487-04:00Thanks for the support, Clarissa! I also like the ...Thanks for the support, Clarissa! I also like the Jeeves' stories but I 've been watching the series with Stephen Fry instead of reading them. It would normally sound like cheating if it werent for Fry's love for Wodehouse.<br />I had no idea he wrote poetry! I knew he had a prolific career but the poems you mentioned sound genious. I 'll definitely check them out :)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549467720857136573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236054442623784970.post-70771433532408826232014-04-02T09:15:49.844-04:002014-04-02T09:15:49.844-04:00Yay! I'm so happy to see you posting here agai...Yay! I'm so happy to see you posting here again! I was happy to see you posting on your fashion blog, too, but I missed The Culture Enthusiast.<br /><br />I adore P G Wodehouse. I haven't read this one, but may do so on your recommendation. I do prefer the Jeeves and Wooster books, but it seems everything he's written is at least pretty funny, if not extremely funny. The last one I read was The Mating Season, I think. Also, while I haven't read much of his poetry, what I have read was hilarious. He wrote a very funny poem about Sherlock Holmes returning from the dead (which is also currently appropriate with the Sherlock series, etc) and a priceless poem called "Printer's Error" about how authors react to typos in their work.<br /><br />I must say Wodehouse is one of my go-to authors if I just want to laugh. If I'm feeling gloomy, he'll cheer me up at least a bit, and he'll make an already happy day even happier...Clarissa Aykroydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08571136118573329263noreply@blogger.com
