I added a sorted words puzzle and a shuffled pages #puzzle to my Book Blender collection of #WordGames. They are two stories by P. G. #Wodehouse - "The Alarming Spread of Poetry" is a dire warning of slightly lower stakes than your typical dire warning (940 words). Is "Jeeves and Wooster" a romcom? The other puzzle is based on "The Man Upstairs", a more standard romcom from the same author (29 pages).

As I re-read “Leave it to Psmith”, I’m realizing for the first time that The Efficient Baxter is basically Malvolio from “Twelfth Night”. Wodehouse has to have done that on purpose, right? He was well-educated, he would have known one of the great comedic put-upon characters of Shakespeare.

Latest addition to my library, and absolutely the finest part of it: A complete, 99-volume collection of the Everyman Wodehouse. This is the best edition of Wodehouse ever printed, and I now have all of it. Collectively it’s essentially everything he ever wrote for publication.
It looks like whoever owned them before me must have bought them for resale and never read them, because they all look mint condition. I will not be making that mistake.

I’m embarrassed to say, that while reading my Wodehouse novel I had to look up the reference made to Pierpont Morgan.
Apparently it’s John Pierpont Morgan, American rich person.
Now that I think of it, I have heard of JP Morgan, I think I owe his descendants money.

This morning , my spouse pulled out a dark blue handkerchief, entirely new to me. “Where did you get a dark blue handkerchief?” He immediately replied, “The Anti-Jeeves Society.”
Fair.

My Pop used to go on and on about Jeeves, especially when things were going sideways. It would cheer him and I never had any idea what he was talking about or why he was laughing when things were bad. So here I am , forty years after his death, reading P. G. Wodehouse and finally understanding my father. #reading #book #Wodehouse

"You probably consider that you are being broadminded, but you want to be careful how you let that so-called broadmindedness grow on you. It is apt to become mere moral myopia."

An underused word for your consideration: "scug" - a Victorian schoolboy insult denoting a pushy, slovenly, morally undeveloped slacker with bad manners and far too high an opinion of himself.
(All that in one syllable! If that's not 19th century efficiency I don't know what is.)If it's good enough to be employed by those most worthy knights P. G. Wodehouse and Terry Pratchett, I deem it good enough for us. I use it myself. Care to join me?

Roderick Spode is P. G. Wodehouse's send-up of British fascist Oswald Mosley. Mosley founded the Black Shirts; Spode founded the Black Shorts ("there were no shirts left.").
Is it just me, or have I seen that salute somewhere recently?

My Xmas book haul.
Already started re-reading Foundation. I loved it when I read it in college. I do remember that it’s mostly men talking about politics, philosophy, and psychology. Which is absolutely true. So I understand why the TV series made changes to adapt it.
I absolutely love both versions. The book definitely needed more women though.
