Uneasy Money by P.G. Wodehouse
5.0
I'm so happy I finally discovered Wodehouse! I have never read books published over 100 years ago that are so accessible and not dated at all. Sometimes even timely... I mean....
" 'Why, he would have a pistol, wouldn't he? I thought everybody had over here.' Except for what he had been able to observe during the brief period of his present visit, Lord Dawlish's knowledge of the United States had been derived from the American plays which he had seen in London, and in these chappies were producing revolvers all the time. He had got the impression that a revolver was as much a part of the ordinary well-dressed man's equipment in the United States as a collar."
1916, ladies and gentlemen. Change "plays" to "movies" and "chappies" to "guys" and it could have been written in 2016.
Anyway, funny little rom-com for some light reading. The usual misunderstandings and complications. Highly enjoyable.
BTW, some of Wodehouse's books are free for Kindle...
