Episode 2: The Code of the Woosters, by P.G. WodehouseToday we’re discussing The Code of the Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse. This one was Donna’s choice and prompted another great discussion - including a full change of mind from Sue.First published in October 1938, this is another of those books that appear on those lists of books you have to read. It’s also a book that is regarded as a comfort read for so many, yet although light on the surface, it has political satire as a significant theme, so there’s definitely more to this one than first meets the eye.If you’ve read The Code of the Woosters, we’d love to hear what you thought. Oh, and by way of clarification… late in the podcast we’re talking about other books we’ve read and Jo mentions that she’s not good with drugs… of course she means medications… but you knew that, right?The Simply Stunning Classic Book Club is:Sue Loncaric from Women Living Well After 50 and her Substack (and podcast) Women Living Well After 50Debbie Harris from Deb’s World and also on Substack as Deb’s WorldDonna Connelly from Retirement ReflectionsJo Tracey from Story Crumbs.
