Fact or Fiction?
From Waugh to Mitford to Wodehouse, Pont Street has always attracted a certain refined crowd. Perhaps some of their fictional descendants even pop into St Columba’s from time to time!
We may be famous in books, but the real magic is the vibrant community we share every day.

What ho, Wednesday! For those of you celebrating International Accounting Day, how about reading 'Do Butlers Burgle Banks', a story of inheritances, heists and shootouts. Are ill-gotten gains tax deductible? #accountancy #wodehouse

Great Writing Quotes by Author P.G. Wodehouse
I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don't know what I did before that. Just loafed I suppose. I never want to see anyone, and I never want to go anywhere or do anything. I just want to write. I just sit at my typewriter and curse a bit. It…

I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don't know what I did before that. Just loafed I suppose. I never want to see anyone, and I never want to go anywhere or do anything. I just want to write. I just sit at my typewriter and curse a bit. It has been well said that an author who expects results from a first novel is in a position similar to that of a man who drops a rose petal down the Grand Canyon of Arizona and listens for the echo.

I love the Jeeves and Wooster series and revisit it all the time.
I would say my only gripe is that Jeeves isn't as yoked up as Wodehouse described. Should have had The Rock or Cena in there.

10yo me had her brain rewired by:
-I, Robot by Isaac Asimov, which taught me to love robots, cold women, and men who are curiously into each other
-P.G. Wodehouse, who absolutely nailed my sense of humor and whose pacing awed me
(I do know the problematic nature of these authors, thanks!)

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I remember nothing of the Asimov foreword even though it was certainly what encouraged me to read it. But Bensen pointing out that Wodehouse’ world is a moral inversion of proper British society was I think the best stage-setting a morality-obsessed American teen could have asked for

My father checked this out of the library, was disappointed to realize it was a book of comedy instead of proper crime stories, and gave it to me, age 16, to return. I read it in one sitting and have spent thirty years chasing a high that proper genre fiction can never give.

Ironically the best person to deal with changing something that's so obvious of one mode into others is....Alan Moore. If you've read League of Gentlemen: The Black Dossier there's a wonderful Lovecraft/Wodehouse mix.

Many of these books were required school reading. So after a cursory glance at least over 60% read. A Confederacy of Dunces is a remarkable book as is the story behind its being published. All the PG Wodehouse books of stories about Jeeves and Bernie Wooster are hilarious.
