In Wodehouse Territory

[Vimal]

Lord Elmsworth(The Earl who resides in Blandings castle) is one character whose acquaintance you mustn't delay in making Girish! Psmith is a separate series of 4 books, the last of which is also Blandings #2

[Vimal]

Yet to read Ukridge. Is that character Reggie?

[Ahtims]

I don't like Ukridge much, of he is the fellow who always sits in bars and lounges and talks

[Rebecca]

What is Reggie doing in a book of Jeeves?

[Ahtims]

Aparna, cute baby :-)

[Rahul]

if we love someone truely then, they will definitely return

[Rebecca]

I and Vimal have just finished My man Jeeves. Yet to decide on the next.

[Vimal]

Welcome back Aparna. Rebecca, Girish and I have 'Jeeves in the offing', so we might be reading it next. Would you be joining for that?

[Aparna]

@smitha thanks :),would you like to join in for the next Jeeves book ?
@rebecca,vimal let me check with my library and grab a copy asap

[Aparna]

I have got the Jeeves in the offing from the library.. can we start ?..

[Vimal]

Sure thing. I'm due for a light read, so will start as soon as possible.

[Aparna]

okay then..I am starting this!

[Rebecca]

I will start today.

[Ahtims]

Have read and re read it. My copy is back at Calicut. Wish I had it here.

[Girish]

i will join in a couple of days from now!

[Girish]

Started the book today. Jeeves is off for a vacation in first 2 pages.. Ho Bertie!

[Aparna]

lol..yeah..wonder how bertie is going to survive this one :D

[Rebecca]

I am really loving this one. This is the ideal hungama situation where Bertie can contribute to making it more.

[Vimal]

Lol. Anatole is God's gift to the gastric juices. How does he come up with those :)

[Girish]

"I will stand watch outside the door. If i see her coming i will sing"
"Always glad to hear your singing, of course, but in what way will that ease the strain?"
:'D had me laughing in the train like a Gump! :D

[Vimal]

Done! The second half passed off in a blur, since I found some elements from previous Jeeves books. But Bertie rocks as usual :)

[Girish]

Done! Totally enjoyed this one! And Bertie is a superstar, more likable than Jeeves :D

[Rebecca]

I am at 50% and enjoying this one immensely.

[Aparna]

I have also reached the halfway mark..its been my bed time ritual to read this since the last few days..reading a bit slowly..liking it very much :)

[Rebecca]

I finished. Enjoyed this one thoroughly.

[Vimal]

Awesome. Its amazing how all of us continue to enjoy PGW. For my part, this is the first time that I've read an author at the rate of 7 books in 7 months, and haven't got tired of him/her :)

[Vimal]

Long time! It'll be good to revive this again. Planning to start with either one of Carry on Jeeves or Jeeves and the tie that binds.Anyone joining in?

[Rebecca]

Let me see whether I have any of those..

[Girish]

Will check what is books i have..

[Aparna]

BOth are available in my library..I can get it..

[Rebecca]

Both are not there with me. So will join next time,

[Vimal]

@Aparna, awesome! Let me know when you get either of those and we'll start

@Rebecca, Ah bad. But I think Carry on Jeeves should be over soon, and then we'll pick 'Stiff upper lip, Jeeves'. I checked previous messages and found that you and Girish both have it.May be Aparna can get it too.

@Girish, found either?

[Rebecca]

Ok Vimal.

[Girish]

i have only stiff upper lip Jeeves. so we'll pick that up after you are done with this

[Aparna]

ok vimal..I'll get carry on Jeeves tomorrow..

[Aparna]

I got a Jeeves omnibus..this edition has both carry on Jeeves and stiff upper lip :)

[Vimal]

Great! Starting with Carry On Jeeves today!

[Aparna]

STarting carry on Jeeves today !

[Ahtims]

Carry on Vimal
Carry on Aparna

Am tempted to join you folk. But I am neckdeep in buddy reads and group reads.

[Vimal]

Ahh, couldn't post here last week. Where have you reached, Aparna?

I'm done with the first 5 stories.The first involved Bertie's nightmarish fiance Florence Craye and it was an absolute stress-buster word-for-word. The next 4 stories were repeats(except for the introductory pages) from Jeeves#1. But I absolutely didn't mind a re-read at all. The stories sounded as fresh and riotously humourous as if it were my first time :)

Plan to join for the next one Syl. I think we will be having a full house for that- 'Stiff upper lip, Jeeves'

[Aparna]

I am done with two stories..as usual Wodehouse never disappoints..even though sometimes the storyline seems repetitive..its always a refreshing read.

[Aparna]

@smitha join us for the next one..it will be a good change for you too amidst all the other reads..

[Ahtims]

I sure would like to. When are you starting?

[Vimal]

Done with 8 stories.. All fun as usual and the 7th one was super good!

[Vimal]

Syl. A.k.a Topo di biblioteca wrote: "I sure would like to. When are you starting?"

As soon as we are done with the current one. From next week probably.

[Aparna]

Hey vimal..I am sorry but due to some work related changes,myself and family are relocating to New york all the way from california..Its a huge move and I will be busy and will not get time to read for this and next month...So I think I will have to join you guys next time...Meanwhile you all have fun with Wodehouse..will join you all soon for the next one after everything gets settled at my end.
