Book: The Small Bachelor by P.G Wodehouse

Reading P.G Wodehouse after a couple of years is like coming back to an old friend. The Small Bachelor is a typical Wodehouse affair with much farce and muddle, a delicious mix of characters and, as always, a certain rythm which clips along like a sweet melody with no wasted words.

I can see myself creating a reading system whereby I read an 'improving book' along with a classic, and then take a light relief with a Wodehouse comedy. Given Wodehouse's vast output, this system should be able to run until the end of my years. Certainly something for consideration.
