Hvilken bok ligger på nattbordet ditt nå?

P.G. Wodehouse: Thank You, Jeeves.

Merkelig nok har jeg ikke lest noe Wodehouse før, men det er jo skrikende åpenbart at jeg burde gjort det for lengst. Fra forordet:

Sitat:

Yet many authors think nothing of saying: 'Ready, Miss Spelvin? Take dictation. Quote No comma Lord Jasper Murgatroyd comma close quote said no better make it hissed Evangeline comma quote I would not marry you if you were the last man on earth close quote period Quote Well comma I'm not the last man on earth comma so the point does not arise comma close quote replied Lord Jasper comma twirling his moustache cynically period And so the long day wore on.'

If I started to do that sort of thing I should be feeling all the time that the girl was saying to herself a she took it down, 'Well comma this beats me period How comma with homes for the feeble minded touting for customers on every side comma has a fathead like this Wodehouse succeeded in remaining at large all these years mark of interrogation.'
