A Wodehouse Bestiary / Lists

Perhaps you can relate. I have a bad habit of wanting a copy of my own to refer back to after I really enjoy a public library book. To compound that bad habit, I live thousands of miles from my home library. This means I tote hard copies along in my travels and try to remember and catalog from afar the books waiting at home. That primary school librarian who instilled a love of books and called them our friends created a monster in me, a monster who does not want to part with loves and friends. Cheers to Open Library for giving each of us an address book of those loves and friends, so we may visit them and keep in touch.

Favorites to read again. Read again to refresh. Unfinished reading and books where only selections were read.

Pleasant 20th-century novels of manners, gentle satire, chick- and lad-lit, magazine-fodder short fiction, and the like from Edwardian days to the advent of World War II.

Soothing, encouraging, humorous, familiar - Stories to help take the sting from a difficult time.

Anthologies, essays, story collections . . . bite-sized narratives to be read in one sitting.
