Book 46: Leave It to Psmith, by PG Wodehouse. 245pp

This has definitely been a foray into a world of literature yet untapped by yours truly. Indirectly highly recommended by one [livejournal.com profile] krikketgirl at some point in the past.

The plot is full of twists, convolutions, coincidences, and mayhem. Which, definitely, makes for a fascinating read. I wouldn't say I was laughing hysterically for about 97% of the time, but I was vastly entertained by such phrases as "a depressing musty scent pervaded the place, as if a cheese had recently died there in painful circumstances". Very enjoyable on the whole, and a pleasant introduction to something fresh and different. I'm sure I will be visiting the pages of more Wodehouse in the future.

I think after lunch I may go to the library again armed with my list of recommendations from yesterday and bring home some more words to devour.
