In Wodehouse Territory

[Rebecca]

What is your next venture. ? I'd like to join. Long time since I read a Wodehouse

[A]

Well we haven't really decided. As of now, Vimal is still on Right Ho and I've barely started with Full Moon. Vimal doesn't have Full Moon so he'll wait for me to finish that. Then, I'll issue one book in random from my library. So nothing's really decided.

[Vimal]

Welcome Rebecca! Ruchi will let you know once she issues the next book from her library. I hope we'll be able to lay our hands on that. Or until then you could read Full Moon with her. I couldn't get hold of Full Moon unfortunately, its not in my collection and a bit hard to find.

[Rebecca]

OK. Ill wait till both of you have decided on something.

[A]

Hey! I finished Full Moon - and it may be hard to believe - but I liked it more than jeeves :)) The story was so amazing and the writing too :D You definitely should catch hold of this!

What are you reading, Vimal and Rebecca?

I'm sorry to say that I can get the next book only on Monday. I'm missing school tomorrow :(

[Rebecca]

I have The inimitable Jeeves with me if you are interested. Otherwise I will try to get hold of anything you both choose.

I'll see if that is available in our library.

[Vimal]

Ahh, sorry about the long absence from the thread. Was into 2 other books for a challenge. I'd paused Right Ho Jeeves at around 50 %. Have to return to it soon.

What are y..."

Oh really! Thats nice to hear.Ok then I'll have to read atleast one Blandings Castle this year.

I have this one. Will join anytime that you both start. I'd like to get started atleast on most of the Wodehousian books, even if I don't get time to read through and complete each book.His style is amazing.

[A]

I'll try to get Inimitable Jeeves. I think I remember seeing it in our library. Monday, then!

[Rebecca]

Will start on Monday then.....

[Vimal]

Me too!

[A]

I got inimitable jeeves !:) I'll start it by tonight :)

[Rebecca]

Finished 1 & 2 chapters.

[Vimal]

Just started. Getting to know Bingo Little's problem.

[A]

I've reached chp 10...I think it's absolutely amazing! What about u guys?

[Rebecca]

I just finished chapter 6 and am laughing to myself. Bertie has got himself in a fix and am waiting to see how he unfolds himself out of it without Jeeves. . Meanwhile I love Bingos attitude to love.

[Vimal]

I'm done with 3 chapters. Going snail-paced again since I'm getting hooked to each and every sentence and am re-reading some sentences multiple times :D

[Vimal]

Reached chapter 10. Bertie all the way again. Wodehouse mercilessly entangles him in everything he ever does. Downright hilarious

[Ahtims]

so feel like joining in. Missing Bertie. >_<

[Rebecca]

Me too reached chapter 10. Enjoying it to the hilt.

[Rebecca]

Reached chapter 17. Going well.

[Rebecca]

I finished. Loved it. (view spoiler)[ But the end though manipulated by Jeeves was a bit too much. My sympathies lie entirely with poor Bertie!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Ahtims]

but only 3 stars from you :-P

[Rebecca]

Yes only 3 stars. Though I loved it I found something missing at places. especially the end. And I am a bit kanjoos in my stars.

[Ahtims]

:-P

[A]

Yes I finished it too. Enjoyed it a lot tho I still find the Blandings book to be better (the previous Wodehouse book I read).

[Rebecca]

Let us read something from the Blandings next. I haven't read any. After Vimal has finished.

[Vimal]

Struggled for reading time in the last 2 weeks. The only silver lining was that I completed Right Ho Jeeves.Enjoyed every page of it, and the hilarious ending where Jeeves gives Bertie a proper drubbing :)

[Vimal]

Nice to see you both are done with Inimitable Jeeves. I'm resuming it from chapter 10 today. Let me know if you plan on the next one.

[A]

I can get the next book only on Tuesday, since short vacation is going on in my school. So we'll wait for Vimal to finish Inimitable jeeves and then on to something Blandings next?

[Vimal]

Let me see if I can get hold of something in the Blandings series

[Rebecca]

Yes we'll wait for Vimal .

[Vimal]

Into Chapter 13 of Inimitable Jeeves. Also managed to get hold of Blandings Castle #1 - Something Fresh. Not able to lay my hands on any of the other books in that series.

[A]

I'll look for that book in my library.

[Rebecca]

Have you got it Ruchi? I have it with me.

[A]

No I don't have it. You guys go ahead with the read. I'll see if I can get the book somewhere.

[Rebecca]

I shall wait till either of you start.

[Aparna]

Any one reading The mating season?..Just got one from the library..feels good to be back in the world of bertie and jeeves :)

[Vimal]

Sorry about having made you guys wait for long. Finally got to complete The Inimitable Jeeves, and thoroughly enjoyed and admired this one as well! Unbelievably skillful prose :)

[Vimal]

Welcome to the thread Aparna! Nice to know you've read Wodehouse before, and chose to enjoy yourself in his enchanting world again! Yes we can read The Mating Season next if Rebecca and Ruchi agree.

[Vimal]

@Rebecca,Ruchi, Do we stick to Blandings #1 as planned earlier or do we try The Mating season? I'm good with either, or even both in parallel. Expecting some good reading time next week.

[Aparna]

thanks vimal.let me know what you guys are reading next in Wodehouse ..will try and catch up ..happy reading :)

[Rebecca]

Sorry for not answering earlier. I don't have the mating season with me.

[Vimal]

Ok, then it looks like Something New(Blandings #1) is the next one as planned earlier.I'm planning to start it today.After reading 2 Jeeves numbers, hoping to see another shade of Wodehouse in this one.

@Rebecca, I'll be going slow with this one too, so you can join in any time :)

@Ruchi, @Aparna, do join in if you haven't read this one yet!

[Rebecca]

Am in a reading slumber after tackling a heartbreaking book. Just need a Wodehouse to perk me up. Will start this one this week.

[Aparna]

Will try and get the book from the library and hope to join u guys soon..happy reading :)

[Vimal]

@Rebecca: Cool, that's the ideal recipe. I too came into his territory in time after a series of heavy and gloomy ones.

@Aparna, Great!

Started yesterday and following the curious case of Ashe Marson who wakes up to his skipping rope and Indian club.

[A]

I'll look for the book in my library. Thing is, I have a holiday till Sunday so I'll go to school directly after four days now.
