Ironically, I did finally select a Wodehouse today since I haven't read him before. I'm always hesitant to get books that are supposed to be funny because a LOT of times, while they may not be bad reads, I just don't get the humour. Like with Terry Pratchett. I've read several of those with a perfectly straight face - just am not on that humour wavelength or something. My dad picks one up and is in hysterics the whole time. We'll see!
Who can resist characters named Gussie Finknottle and the various Biffy, Beffy, Stiffy, Tipper, Tuppy, Corky, Sippy, and let's not forget Honoria Glossop!
