> Interesting that you mention Wodehouse. As far as I know, nobody reads him anymore, but Quartz, who seems to appear here in spurts, is an avid reader.

Y'know, when I read this, the first thing that came to me was "Woah, Sam talked about me". (I distinctly thought "woah". I feel like Keanu Reeves.)

But yes, I am a avid reader of Wodehouse. My sister and parents read him as well, so much so that my dad bought some first edition Wodehouse books from a rare/used book store for my mom's birthday a few years back. And I'm slowly convincing my friends to read Wodehouse, too. I don't think they have any decent excuses not to. (These people also have never seen any Marx Brothers movies, which is a folly I'll not get into right now.)

What's your favorite Wodehouse book? I mean novels, not the collections and omnibuses of his millions upon millions of short stories (I still haven't decided whether Wodehouse or Ray Bradbury wrote more shorts). Mine is 'Laughing Gas', which probably only six people in the world read (including my mother, myself, and Mr. Wodehouse). My sister thinks I'm crazy for not liking a Jeeves book best, but what are you going to do? ;^)
