There is something about Jeeves and Wooster novels that brings the best out of Wodehouse. A must-read. Cannot help but give an extract of one of the hilarious passages from the novel:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;There was a knock at the door and in floated Jeeves.&lt;br /&gt;'Excuse me, sir', he said, shimmering towards old Stoker and presenting an envelope on a salver. 'A seaman from your yacht has just brought this cablegram, which arrived shortly after your departure this morning from the yacht. The captain of the vessel, fancying that it might be of an urgent nature, instructed him to convey it to this house. I took it from him at the back door and hastened hither with it in order to deliver it to you personally.'&lt;br /&gt;The way he put it made the whole thing seem like one of those great epics you read about. You followed the procedure step by step, and the interest and drama worked up to the big moment. Old Stoker, however, instead of being thrilled, seemed somewhat in the impatient side.&lt;br /&gt;'What you mean is, there's a cable for me.'&lt;br /&gt;'Yes, sir.'&lt;br /&gt;'Then why not say so, damn it, instead of making a song about it. Do you think you're singing in opera, or something? Gimme.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7289916047647454950-8889152276865192728?l=chronicle-harsha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chronicle-harsha.blogspot.com/feeds/8889152276865192728/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7289916047647454950&amp;postID=8889152276865192728&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7289916047647454950/posts/default/8889152276865192728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7289916047647454950/posts/default/8889152276865192728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chronicle-harsha.blogspot.com/2011/04/thank-you-jeeves-by-p-g-wodehouse.html' title='Thank You, Jeeves by P G Wodehouse'/><author><name>Harsha S Rao</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18173003640280727675</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_-IFYxulPEVk/R5jEBxPlKaI/AAAAAAAAAlw/oJCQYcEktSE/S220/DSC00352_edited.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289916047647454950.post-3091802504091578726</id><published>2011-03-22T09:20:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-03-28T11:55:52.848-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Money in the Bank by P G Wodehouse</title><content type='html'>Wonderful!

Liked especially the names of each chapter. The previous Forsyth novel which I had read (&lt;em&gt;Dogs of War&lt;/em&gt;) had disappointed me but this one tops the chart. There is a story behind each character and each story is fascinating. Details of many post-Second-World-War wars of the world are covered in this novel, like the Bosnian war, the Afghanistan war, the Vietnam war, etc. The Tunnel Rats concept during the Vietnam war is mind-chilling. The concept of being the 'avenger' is good. And like a counter-balance, 'Lesser good over bigger evil' also is good. But I felt the ending was more of an anti-climax. The heretofore powerful villain suddenly seemed extremely vulnerable in the end. But, very significantly, the novel ends on 9/10/2001, a day before World Trade Center was hit by terrorists.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7289916047647454950-1171569139570931526?l=chronicle-harsha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chronicle-harsha.blogspot.com/feeds/1171569139570931526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7289916047647454950&amp;postID=1171569139570931526&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7289916047647454950/posts/default/1171569139570931526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7289916047647454950/posts/default/1171569139570931526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chronicle-harsha.blogspot.com/2009/03/avenger-by-frederick-forsyth.html' title='Avenger by Frederick Forsyth'/><author><name>Harsha S Rao</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18173003640280727675</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_-IFYxulPEVk/R5jEBxPlKaI/AAAAAAAAAlw/oJCQYcEktSE/S220/DSC00352_edited.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289916047647454950.post-8778133166090595230</id><published>2009-02-12T12:43:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-12T12:49:00.526-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini</title><content type='html'>If it were two boys in &lt;em&gt;The Kite Runner&lt;/em&gt;, it is two women in &lt;em&gt;A Thousand Splendid Suns&lt;/em&gt;.

Started well and is a meticulous book, as in any Forsyth novel, but ending was an anti-climax, with nothing great happening than expected.

Long ago when I read the &lt;em&gt;Day of Jackal &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Negotiator&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Devil's Alternative&lt;/em&gt;, Forsyth was right up there at the top.
