So, I'm nearly halfway through 'Leave it to Psmith,' by PG Wodehouse. ("The P is silent, as in ptarmic, psychic, and ptarmigan," says Psmith). It's a fun little Wodehouse novel, full of silly characters, mistaken identities, and a planned crime that must go awry. Psmith reminds me of Jeeves, except younger and with a sense of humour; he's sharply dressed and eloquent, and also a bit conniving.
Good fun, after reading so many 'serious' books. I recommend it.
(And if you haven't read any Wodehouse books, go get 'The Inimitable Jeeves' right now. Right now! I have never laughed so hard at a story.)

This could possibly be my next book for when I go on a trip - the only time I have to read!
It's all short stories, so it's an easy read, too.
Ack, I mean 'The Inimitable Jeeves' is made up of stories.
'Leave it to Psmith' is, I think, a whole novel.
Pthanks!
A new way to talk. Yay. :D
