And I'm in love. Berty is so absolutely silly, brainrotted chap. The random abbreviations?! " You could've knocked me down with an F" so unserious.
The narration style is 1000/10. I do enjoy old timey english.
I really enjoyed Bingo from the short stories. The way he just fell in love again and again. The way he'd persuade berty. "We were at school together".
In the book because the ending/ Jeeves's intervention is being delayed ( as opposed to the stories) berty is coming across as slightly stupid. From the stories I just thought him v generous and doing his best for his friends type of fellow.
It's interesting how todays slang " yapping" for eg is in 100 year old works and is used in the same exact way.
This dude actually makes you laugh out loud. I don't think he tries too hard. He just takes something and pushes it. Max absurd max silly.
Do you think berty stupid? Cuz i actually respect him for taking Jeeves's suggestions. Like you've to have an open mind to accept that from your 'inferiors'. Sometimes I do wonder how Jeeves, a brighter dude feels about being a just a valet to this dude. Like your whole life is being his caretaker. Do you resent a little? Both parties could i guess.
The objective of the whole post is "I've found joy and let's multiply that joy by sharing".
Definitely the type of books you reach out to escape.
Open to recs!!
Also Stephen fry rocks! He's a gay, jew with a crooked nose he didn't fix. Interesting.
