Book 29 of 2022

At the weekend I finished my reread of Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse.

This was just what I needed at the time. A laugh out loud sequence of events in the 1920s/1930s, with Bertie Wooster being as bumbling as usual, albeit well meaning, Jeeves as calmly efficient as usual, and a riot of characters circling around them. I think this is probably my favourite Jeeves & Wooster story. If only for the orange juice section alone! But yes, loved it. The TV series version of it was also good, though it had to cut a lot of details from the full novel.

Current reading

Current reading, end of May 2022.

I’ve newly started the first Chrestomanci fantasy novel while finishing Eleventh Doctor novel The Water Thief. Still reading a manga book, Sandman short story collection and Andrew Cotter’s dog book. And now also a stroke memoir by a neurologist.

The Doctor Who novel is set partly in ancient Egypt and is a quick read. Loving the manga book, but reading it slowly. The Sandman short stories are proving a slog, but I’ve heard other people find the second half better. The dogs book is excellent.
