The Wodehouse "Golf omnibus" is a bit of a hoot. One does not need to be a golfer to appreciate the humour.

I've just got "The World Of Jeeves" omnibus.
Funny to think Wodehouse could have been hung for treason.

There are a few charity shops in my local town but there’s one that I normally don’t bother with because they rarely have more than 30 books for sale and they’re usually romance with the occasional Wilbur Smith thrown in or else a biography of Robbie Williams but as I was waiting outside a hairdressers today rapidly losing the will to live I decided to go and have a look. And there amongst the Mills And Boon and the Danielle Steele’s was a copy of Bill Beadle’s Wrongly Hanged. It’s a book that I’ve meant to check out over the years but I’ve never gotten around to it. Happy days.
Just shows…….it’s always worth a look.meant to be!!

Ive decided to try and get all the Wodehouse books in order. I’m currently reading his second novel and have his third on order.

It's a pirate site, so copyright and royalties are a mere passing concern. I wouldn't trust that site with any of my info or access to my hardware.
Incidentally, Paul Begg's book is on there. I doubt he consented to his publisher giving it away free.
‘Not with a barge pole’ I think the phrase is.
Cheers Al

Good idea, I'll start on it tomorrow.
I've read Dead Mountain, and enjoyed it, but every book gives a different nuance to the case, which is to be welcomed.
Hopefully it'll generate some interesting discussions.

Brilliant!
It looks great.
Perhaps we can post our respective thoughts once we've read it?
Have you finished Dead Mountain already?

You must consume books by osmosis or something!
