Carrying on with my Wodehouse binge, I've just finished "A Prefect's Uncle", originally published in 1903. This is the 2nd book in the "School" series (which, as I said in my previous Wodehouse post, although not what Wodehouse is best known for, is a series that I very much enjoy).
This book is set in the (fictional) Beckford College. Gethryn, a school prefect, is dismayed to learn that his uncle - a boy 4 years younger than himself - is to attend the school, and his fears are fully justified. Hugely enjoyable, although perhaps a little incomprehensible if you don't understand cricket, since games of cricket form a large part of the book.
My next book is a re-read of the fantasy classic "Silverthorn" by Raymond Feist; the second book in the "Riftwar" saga.
