I expect not. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 10/10/2011 06:44:02 PM
How about some Wodehouse?

Of the ones you've suggested, this is the only author I've not yet picked up. Which was the brief. :P

Other than that, my fallback for these situations is Austen, sometimes Charlotte Brontë; or The Scarlet Pimpernel. Or Dumas. How about Evelyn Waugh? You love him, don't you?

I do love Waugh, but he's a little depressing really.

Or Dickens? Sorry, my brain does not go many other places these days, and I am desperately craving Bleak House, but I don't have time to read it.

Sometimes I think you're rather odd.

Wilde, Pratchett or something similarly humourous and witty usually helps me at that point. *NM* Stephen - 05/10/2011 06:20:28 PM 427 Views
