Hey, I'm reading The Code of the Woosters too! (Also The Phoenix Guards and various library books my teenage daughter took out, kind of junior chick lit)

Snap! I didn't enjoy this one as much as I thought I would but I think that's mostly down to the fact that I ended up reading it in five-minute bursts and forgetting who was supposed to be marrying and/or not talking to whom. I have a bit of a disadvantage when reading Wodehouse in that I have a very bad memory for quotations, so that half an hour after finishing one of his books I can remember the silly plot but not the the phrases that made me laugh.
