A bit of a contrast
Finished reading "Psmith Journalist" by PGW a couple of days ago. It has the unique distinction of being a Wodeshouse novel with a social conscience. Psmith battles against a slum landlord in New York aided by a cat-fancing gangster, a boxer calle Kid Brady and the deputy editor of Cosy Moments magazine. I love it.
"Psmith Journalist" is a mere breeze of a novel, compared with what is next off the shelf. It may be a while before I post again because I've just started "The Scar" by China Mieville. I've already read 250 pages which means that there are only another 450 to go. It's got that great mix of Gormenghastian landscapes (or in this case seascapes, extreme violence, mystery, action and fabulous names like Cumbershun. I thought that Peridido St Station was just fantastic and this one is shaping up to be just as good.
Looks like my Year 8 assignments are going to have to learn to mark themselves this week...
