Ironweed- Wouldn't say the best novel, but was good. Worth the time.

We are what we quote.
& i guess we identify with the person we quote wouldn't be too far off?

The Last Night of Summer by Erskine Caldwell.. Abrupt ending aside, that was actually fine. A bit painful in the middle with the rape/murder.

Uncle Tom's Cabin- Not the best one ever but was worth the read and a little depressing

The Clicking of Cuthbert and other stories - after repeated quotes from fellow hubber PR. Glad I did it. Am inclined to record a few thoughts for the Wodehouse thread.

Compli, recordunga. Clicking of cuthbert is a ruthless satire by wodehouse I think of the english cognoscenti - their predilection to show off quoting russian authors etc.
I realise that to enjoy wodehouse you must buy into his conceits. I doubt for instance that he reveres golf as much as his writing shows - it is a line of humour established and he goes along with his own conceits.
Remember that this series has the father of a girl , impressed by the suitor, promises him that he will get his wife to agree by loudly opposing the match. Cliched humour perhaps but the reason I quote this now is that va moorthy does a similar thing in kdk. Another instance in that movie.of gopu channeling pgw.
