Stumbled upon this older post of yours, while checking whether there's still life in the #PGWodehouse wings of the Fedi mansion. I had missed your toot at the time. A delightful project! Hope you haven't abandoned it?

I've had a lovely time this evening working on what's turning out to be a novelette or novella. (Projected length: 15k words.)
The plot involves Bertie Wooster and Jeeves accidentally traveling in time and meeting the Buddha. It's fun to write, although creating something that can pass for Wodehouse's style is challenging. The man was a fiendishly clever stylist.
The best part is the research: reading tons of Wodehouse.

Almost all of the Fry & Laurie “Jeeves & Wooster” is available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHxC5fTU2oVbTLQ7WayDiYlnlHPjuOk6Z
The “Tuppy and the Terrier” episode nearly killed me by asphyxiation when it aired on PBS in the ‘90s because I was laughing so hard.

I finished The Algebraist. Really liked it. I think some might have felt the ending was anticlimactic, but I enjoyed it. Need to pick up more books from him.
As a quick palette cleanser I’m reading Quick Service by Wodehouse. It could definitely make an interesting little play. Hijinks in a manor house and all that.

After reading "Minima Moralia" and '"The Age of Diagnosis", I feel the urge to read something lighter.

#FinishedReading #PGWodehouse 's 1915 farce of the unflappably loquacious toff Psmith tangling with New York street gangs. It should be entertaining froth, but it's so, so racist. Read one of his (many) other books instead. #Bookstodon @bookstodon

What a marvellous writer is PG Wodehouse. There's something just right about this passage, the words dance along.

I’m reading #DonQuixote by #MiguelDeCervantes at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it. Since overhearing a little of it in an audiobook not long ago, I realized that it was not a dry #book at all. There are glimpses of what later authors, like #PGWodehouse and even #TerryPratchett took from it and also characters like #InspectorClouseau show traits of the deluded hero of the book.

I'm re-reading The Inimitable Jeeves by PG Wodehouse. This snippet comes as Bertie Wooster has been dragged to a tea-and-bun shop by his pal Bingo, who's in love with the waitress:

PG Wodehouse knew how to deal with wannabe fascists like Trump. In this extract from his 1938 novel The Code of the Woosters, Bertie Wooster tells 'amateur dictator' Roderick Spode some much-needed home truths:

This is cool - the artificial island next to Docklands Library now has a nesting black swan in residence. I anticipate going "Awwww" at too-cute cygnets soon. Possibly followed by running from an aggrieved parent swan (shades of the PG Wodehouse short story, Jeeves and the Impending Doom!).

PG Wodehouse invented a number of words which found their way into the Oxford English dictionary, including Crispish, meaning "somewhat crisp", gruntled, meaning contented, the opposite of "disgruntled" and pottiness, an noun form of "potty" meaning slightly bonkers.
