What-ho, all :)

We all know that Bertie and Jeeves pop up all over the place, including in other books.

Yesterday I bought Bill Bryson's book A Walk In The Woods which is great so far, by the way, and I came across this line:

'Twenty dollars is a bit much for a couple of burgers, don't you think?' I squeaked in a strange, never-before-heard Bertie Wooster voice.

It always makes me so happy when the boys (or one of the boys, anyway) are mentioned somewhere else. Another tick against Bryson's name - he's a good fruit in my book.

Don't you mean a tick FOR Bryson?

I'm starting to think we should have a Sightings tag, for all those times a Jeeves or Bertie pops up in another anything.

Bill Bryson spent 20 some years in England, so I'm sure he's run across more than the occasional reference to Wodehouse.

But I love him anyway, so it's all good.

Oh how lovely! I've read Bryson before and he's a wonderful writer:) I read his book on Shakespeare and can highly recommend it. Good to see our boys are everywhere<3

Man, I totally missed that the fifteen times I've read that book. I love Bryson.

Lol, yeah, he's the best...I love pretty much any bit where he gets chased by a dog.
