I’m one of the many, many millions who repeatedly reread P.G. Wodehouse. His humour is a balm and his writing a miracle of tone and diction. I also, since first tasting him in high school — The Marine Excursion of the Knights of Pythias, later changed to The Sinking of the Mariposa Belle was the story — revisit Stephen Leacock.
