Downright, harhar laugh-out-loud wit, characters you’ll get a giant kick out of, short tales, long tales, you name it. P.G. Wodehouse is your man. A friend bought me Life with Jeeves a couple of years ago – 3 books in one. The first two are short stories and the last a short novel. My wise-on-all-things-funny hubby recommends reading them in this order: middle, beginning, end.
Honestly, this is the kind of book you’ll be annoying people with, if they have the luck to be in the room when you’re reading.
It will go down as follows:
You: snarf snarf hahahaha choke gasp
Your companion: Are you ok, or what?
You: Listen to this! [and you will start reading aloud, if you can, that is, between giggles]
It’s Friday. Have a little literary fun!
My favourite is Laughing Gas. Not least because the lead character resembles a gorilla.
