A good read ...

 I'm about to start reading this book ...

Zigsma has her copy at the ready. She's up to Page Four at last report. If you have a copy, you may like to join us ... I'll give you a day or two to find yours. You may need your valet to assist in the search.

Don't all hurry at once.

I just finished Lucky Jim which was quite hilarious. Jim made some of my sozzled, historical exploits pale in comparison with his drunken bumblings.  And, I read two of the funniest sentences, that I've read in a long time, in this book.

I'd tell you them, but they won't seem funny out of context. Oh, I will anyway ... They come from the section where Dixon (Lucky Jim) is desperate to get to the train station to meet someone before this someone's train leaves, and the time of departure is rapidly drawing close, however he finds himself on frustratingly slow bus being driven by an equally frustrating bad driver:

"As the traffic thickened slightly towards the town, the driver added to his hypertrophied caution a psychopathic devotion to the interests of other road-users; the sight of anything between a removal-van and a junior bicycle halved his speed to four miles an hour and sent his hand, Dixon guessed, flapping in a slow-motion St Vitus' dance of beckonings and wavings-on. Learners practised reversing across his path; gossiping knots of loungers parted leisurely at the touch of his reluctant bonnet; toddlers reeled to retrieve toys from under his just-revolving wheels."

Told you they were funny sentences. Made me laugh out loud!

Anyway, I'm not sure how a book club, of sorts, with two members, works in Blogland. And Wodehouse isn't anything highbrow, though it's certainly no where near lowbrow. Just a jolly good romp.

If you want to join us, be quick about it ... it'll be smashing!

PS The winner of the Delft has been drawn ... but I had to move on to the next thing ...
December waits for no one.
