Much Obliged, Jeeves by P G Wodehouse

Wodehouse at his usual best. Similar plot - robbery, false accusations, entanglements, engagements being broken off, set in a country and the Junior Ganymede club book.

The Coming of Bill by P G Wodehouse

Boring! One of the rare Wodehouse books that bored me. There were no entanglements, misunderstandings, burglary but a plain story. Good English of course but lacking punch in story. Realized that Wodehouse's first few books (written during 1900s) are not as funny as those written post 1950s. Definitely a book that can be avoided.

Wings of Fire by D A P J Abdul Kalam with Arun Tiwari

A nice read. Very inspiring too. Gave me a lot of food for thought.
