A Pterodactyl With A Secret Sorrow

edited April 2011 in Social Entropy++
So I just finished Right Ho, Jeeves - my first taste of Wodehouse. Now I'm going through The Code of the Woosters. For as long as I can remember people have been on my case about getting into this stuff, but I figured they were just over hyping it. How glad I was to discover I was wrong. These are really fantastic. I'm kicking myself for not having picked one up earlier.

So, Wodehouse. Is he a boss?

    apparently Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie played Jeeves and Wooster respectively so whatever the hell this is is ok in my book

    I hear there are TV adaptations of this with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, which sounds delightful

    I still haven't watched any of the series, but I think this has convinced me to get on that shit.

    Yeah, I should probably get around to reading Hitchhiker's Guide. I played Starship Titanic back in the day, that was pretty enjoyable.

    This was a great, great series. They are utterly brilliant. Not sure if it's on netflix but if it is it's definitely worth a watch.

    I liked A bit of Fry and Laurie a lot, so I guess this series is a fair bet?

    Yes.

    I've been loving Wodehouse for years now.

    Recommended by Doug Adams. So lucky I found a collection for a quarter at a garage sale.
