Yes! Return to Love (Williamson), Firestarter Sessions & Desire Map (LaPorte) are my faves, and anything Wooster & Jeeves by Wodehouse is guaranteed hilarity
Thanks for these specifics! Wodehouse is the subject of one of my 2 or 3 favourite book reviews ever (well, really a foreword, but nevermind), by Douglas Adams. Here's the ending:pic.twitter.com/acMvtM53Oi

Wodehouse is an exceptional writer. That he happens to write humor is our good fortune, but entirely incidental to his stature. He is like the eigenvector of everything I love about the British.

Love that last sentence! Every culture should have an eigenvector. Prior to your tweet, I would perhaps have answered Rowan Atkinson (as Blackadder) if asked to name a British eigenvector.

If you read enough pg Wodehouse, you get Shakespeare and Keats and Shelley for free - he excerpts them all - it’s hilarious and never fails to cheer me up

Oh SO true, this is the challenge: I always go to relay a sentence of his to someone else when I’m crying with laughter, but without context it loses all its oomph

WOW, thank you, I had not seen this review. As a fan of both PGW and Adams, reading this was sublime.
