I feel like I...Wow, I've never even heard of this. I feel like I read a biography of PG Wodehouse at some point, and you'd think some of his book titles would have stuck.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever read the Psmith ones by him? I find them a lot funnier than Jeeves and Wooster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-19822460670105908912008-12-27T18:02:00.000-04:002008-12-27T18:02:00.000-04:00I don't think I've ever read a Wodehouse book befo...I don't think I've ever read a Wodehouse book before but I'm glad you finished your challenge!<BR/><BR/>Ooh I like Nan's idea about the treasures!Ladytink_534https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-42345000973331304302008-12-27T12:21:00.000-04:002008-12-27T12:21:00.000-04:00It breaks my reader's heart that a Wodehouse book,...It breaks my reader's heart that a Wodehouse book, even a lesser one, should have to be brought up from "basement storage," while so much tripe is on the more visible shelves just because it is new. I think the job of a good library is to be sure borrowers know of the great old stuff, not just the hot-off-the-presses writing. Not to say old is good and new is bad, but geez there should be a balance. If I ran the library system, I would have a table called old treasures or something like that and feature books from long ago.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.com
