Unseen in the background, Fate was quietly slipping lead into the boxing-glove.Boy, Fate really had it for Bertie Wooster. The moment poor chap decided it was time to take it easy, sit back, and relax one of his childhood friends managed to entangle him into his (friend's) problem and Bertie inevitable got the short end of the stick. If his supply of childhood friends got exhausted at any point there were Aunt Agatha and Aunt Dahlia to keep him entertained - and these two had even more- Jeeves, have you ever pondered on Life?- From time to time sir, in my leisure moments.- Grim, isn't it, what?- Grim, sir. All Bertram Wooster wants from life is a good night's sleep followed by a hearty breakfast, a whole day lazing at the Drones Club and maybe a vaudeville show in the evening, but troubles seems to gather around him like bees around honey. His favorite analogy is "landing in the soup", usually with a push from the long queue of friends and relatives who come knocking on his
What an excellent first book for 2019! Wodehouse writes like a charm, making me giggle whilst turning a gorgeous phrase. And its as if he knew the women in my family when he says, Hell, it is well known, has no fury like a woman who wants her tea and cant get it. My sisters, my niece and myself frequently suffer from being hangry if we are not fed & watered on a regular basis. Having a pleasant outing requires copious amounts of coffee, regular feedings, and sufficient snacks for the day. So
In the dark ages before Goodreads (and its predecessors) to avoid accidentally reading the same book twice you would need to use your memory to figure out if you had read a given book before. In the vast majority of cases that was not difficult. Even if you had read a book twenty or thirty years before, it was likely you would at least have remembered having read itif not every or even any details of it. In a few rare cases I made mistakes and accidentally read a book a second time without
3.5 starsVery Good, Jeeves is a collection of eleven humorous stories featuring Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. Bertie is a fun-loving - but rather dim - British toff who always getting involved in hare-brained schemes that go sideways. And Jeeves is his very clever 'gentleman's gentleman' who invariably makes things right. Some of Bertie's escapades stem from his attempts to get back at his friend Tuppy Glossup. Tuppy bet Bertie he couldn't swing across a swimming pool on a set of
Going into "Very Good, Jeeves," I knew five of its stories would be repeats for me -- they comprised another collection I read, "Jeeves and the Old School Chum" -- but it turns out I had already read all eleven of its stories. I'm not quite sure how this happened. I don't think I'd read this particular collection before, but it's possible I had and simply forgot. I blame this on Wodehouse, whose book titles were all so bloody similar: "Very Good, Jeeves," "Thank You, Jeeves," "Right Ho, Jeeves,"
I really enjoyed the comic adventures and the snappy, humorous dialogue between the two main characters - Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves. I also liked the format, a series of short stories, which made it easier to start and stop. This was my first Jeeves book but I plan on going back to #1 and reading through the series! My interest in the series was piqued when I recently bought "Jeeves and the Wedding Bells" which was written as an homage to P. G. Wodehouse, several decades after the
