an excerpt from a PG Wodehouse novel that I can't copy and paste right now
P.G. Wodehouse disproves the theory that if *every* page is a highlight, then the book has *no* highlights.
He didn't care how unimportant a given scene was, in terms of the big plot or themes; why not make it shine anyway?

Magazine cover: Argosy (UK) Vol. XXVI, No. 10 (October 1965); review of “The Battle of Squashy Hollow” by P. G. Wodehouse, pp. 14-28.
By Wodehouse’s standards a fairly tame and inconsequential short story—involving golf and marriage proposals, two staples of the Wodehouse diet, but also hypnotism, which isn’t. Droll enough but the protagonist’s troubles are never really plumbed and he is extricated without difficulty. #PGWodehouse

Mike nodded. A sombre nod. The nod Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812 and said, "So, you're back from Moscow, eh?"

Book cover: Mulliner Nights by P. G. Wodehouse (Herbert Jenkins, 1933); review of: “The Story of Webster” by P. G. Wodehouse, The American Magazine (February 1932)
Like so many of Wodehouse’s ‘Mulliner’ stories, this comes across as a repurposed bit of business from a Bertie Wooster novel. The delivery is quintessential Wodehouse but there’s a nagging sense that the events described are taking place divorced of greater context. #TheStoryOfWebster #PGWodehouse
Warbler Press is delighted to publish Very Good, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse, a collection of eleven short stories featuring the iconic duo of Bertie Wooster and his valet, Jeeves.

Summer Lightning by PG Wodehouse is a silly British upper-class comedy from the 1920s, but it features some really interesting characters, and it is a lot of fun.

Everything Wooster touches turns to ash, but somehow, I can't bring myself to dislike him.
I'm certain Jeeves will finesse everything soon!

This is a fantastically fun read. I have to exercise tremendous restraint to resist watching the BBC adaptations.

I've had a lovely time this evening working on what's turning out to be a novelette or novella. (Projected length: 15k words.)
The plot involves Bertie Wooster and Jeeves accidentally traveling in time and meeting the Buddha. It's fun to write, although creating something that can pass for […]
I watched this blithering idiot so that you don't have to.
Fair play to him, picked a couple of diamonds: The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations and the Psmith stories by #PGWodehouse.
(Also - get this! - one by his Dad, Sir John Fortescue and Dominion by Tom Holland.)
