I always meant to check Wodehouse out just because I love Steven Fry. Well thanks for this BOTM choice because I've been laughing my rear end off since I started it. Dude's a master of language.

I enjoyed seeing "a swift kick in the pants" in British English, implying a kick to a girl's panties. Also, I want to concur that the funniest parts are strewn throughout in little throw away lines. One example of so, so many:

I really liked all the parts of Angela tormenting Tuppy. Especially the way she served the ham sandwiches.

My brother recommended Wake Up, Sir! It's a Jonathan Ames novel written in Wodehouse style.
