Very Good, Jeeves!

I discovered Wodehouse thanks to my grandfather, who owned all the Wooster and Jeeves stories. I think I had a great start because I began with the anthology "What Ho! The Best of P.G. Wodehouse", with Stephen Fry's introduction and evident love for the author. My instant favorite in the book became "Jeeves and the Impending Doom", a story you actually find in this fourth volume of the Wooster and Jeeves series. This book made me notice how reading in your mother tongue can significantly impact your reading experience compared to reading in secondary languages. I guess it was also my mood, the different point in life I was reading it in, and maybe because I read too many times as a teen. But the experience was just not the same because the characters' voices were different in my head. The vocabulary was at the same level, but my familiarity with it was totally different. So this time I didn't cry of laughter (how horrible :)) Still, I had lots of fun reading this volume, my favorite so far. Ten or twelve more to go!
