King of Comedy.

Comedy they tell is more difficult than other emotions. I feel thats true. A comedy act on stage or in movies is comparitively easy because you have props and music to aid you in getting laughs. But comedy in a book is something very difficult to achieve. But if you read Wodehouse you just cant stop smiling. The plot around the lovable characters he has created may not be realistic and may be simple/idyllic, but they transport us to another world and tickle our funny bone. For me wodehouse is a genius because he creates sheer magic with his books. No wonder if has a huge fan following. His books are a class apart. Dont fall into regular genre like romance, suspense, thriller etc. His books are a perfect pill to a melancholy day. Recently was reading well done Jeeves. The way he has made the characters use the english language and anecdotes in middle is awesome. Looking forward for reading another book by King of comedy. And a special thanks to one lady who lent me the book to read. I hope one day to have his entire collection..

  1. Your blogposts are very interesting to read, especially to those who are avid book readers. Not that I'm complaining, but using capital letters for nouns and little regard to punctuation would make it much more interesting, a minor irritant in an otherwise wonderful blog.
