Minnesota Chapter of The Wodehouse Society

Upcoming:
“Hello, hello!
The next title the Northwodes book group will read is:
Psmith in the City (1910)
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, April 24, 7pm at: The Happy Gnome http://thehappygnome.com/
Happy Reading,
Angie”

The year of publication is a tip that this book is in the US public domain, and therefore available for free download:  http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/6753 (the text) or http://librivox.org/psmith-in-the-city-by-pg-wodehouse/ (as recorded by a cadre of volunteers)

Happy reading/listening and discussing!

Angie says, “Our next reading selection is:  Girl on the Boat  / also called Three Men and a Maid (1921). The next meeting is 4th Tuesday of February — Feb. 28, 7pm.” Location will be made clear closer to the date via the Northwodes email list, or by request.

To which Maria follows up, “For those who like to carry entire libraries in their pockets (as I do in my iPhone), do check out the Project Gutenberg files:   http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/20717 You may download it in a number of formats; or read it online; or find it collected in The Best Known Works of PG Wodehouse (rather a misleading title– unless one were to add “which are in the Public Domain”) via Kindle.”

Kris adds to the plethora of choices: there’s a free audiobook version at  http://librivox.org/the-girl-on-the-boat-by-p-g-wodehouse/ . Of course there are multiple print and audiobook versions for purchase as well.

The Northwodes’ Combined Holiday Party and Book Discussion will start at 6 pm, Saturday, December 17, in Bloomington (MN). Contact the Northwodes’ extensive staff to RSVP or get more details.

Angie announced that December’s book is “Bring On the Girls!” This will be our first foray into the autobiographical writings (“semi-autobiographical,” according to wikipedia, and not just because Guy Bolton is a co-author). It’s included in “Wodehouse on Wodehouse,” if you have/get a copy of that.

Passing along the low-down from Angie:

Hello fellow Wodehouse readers,

The Northwodes bookgroup met last Tuesday [Aug. 23] and had a splendid time.

Our next read will be: Do Butler’s Burgle Banks? (1968)

We will again meet at the WA Frost (in St. Paul) on Oct. 25 at 7pm.
