Ronsboy67I just finished Full Moon and read a review at <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TheStoryGraph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheStoryGraph</a> in which the reviewer apologetically said they preferred Blandings to Wooster. Were it possible to have replied, I'd have said "no apology needed, so do I" PGW is sui generis - or as Clarence might say of the Empress's size "sooey generous" <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reading</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Wodehouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wodehouse</a> <a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a>

Deborah Makarios"You probably consider that you are being broadminded, but you want to be careful how you let that so-called broadmindedness grow on you. It is apt to become mere moral myopia."
