The Coming Of Bill by P.G. Wodehouse
4.0
Much more satirical (to the point of being much less funny!) than the mainstream of his later work, this book explores many political and social themes of the time with elegantly turned phrases and Wodehouse's genius for timing.
I continue to prefer books written 90 years ago and set in the present to books written now and set 90 years ago. I can't tell if its the language or the unspoken social conventions that seem so much more authentic. Maybe I'm a chronological snob. Anyway, this book is a prime example.
