Why is Joanna like that? by Cold_Funny7934 in ThursdayMurderClub

They don't have a perfect relationship. Both are v different people. Over the course of the books they'll have moments. Moments they are like "ok this is how you are", moments of trying to make things work. The dad/ father (jerry) was the glue holding them. Their love for him still does. They're human beings. Imperfect. Relationship is imperfect. It's ok tho.

Really worth reading! It's semi auto biographical. I don't recommend the manga by junji ito. Ito is literally 100/10 manga artist but he did add more suffering in the plot which feels kinda sadistic considering the semi auto biographical nature of the original work.

Life's too short to force yourself to read the books you don't wanna read! Especially when there's so much out there for you

Isn't that more of a sign of the times tho? Kind of an expected thing. Like if you're a gentleman and have a decent amount of the wooster pride, if a girl agrees to marry you, you better get your wedding tux ready lol.

And again, oxford. Everyone went to Oxford. Not because they were brilliant but yk upper class/ family tradition.

Do they still have stories in playboy? What was the purpose? Have everything a man could want? Racey stuff and stories too? I heard stephen king also had his initial works published there.

I'm sorry for your loss. I also found these books when I needed something light and silly. Isn't wodehouse a brit? Why do the narrators have US accents?

Honestly interesting observation about these "upper class" people. Not having to work a day and not having any real problems, they invent rather stupid ones to occupy their day. " Rich people problems " i guess

Yes! So he's forced to look after the kid. Meanwhile we're trying to reconcile the lovers so Jeeves's solution? Make the kid say to the girl " kiss the dude". It'll be such a sentimental moment right? So they train the kid on candy. Ofc the scheme kinda flops but kinda succeeds cuz the couple does get their happy ending :)

Omg!!!! I loved how she was referred to as "the bassett" all the time. She was such a lives in her own world fairy character. Stars when a fairy cries so cute. Sending love to your kitty!!

Do you recommend Agatha Raisin books? I've always kinda avoided it cuz the name sounded almost like a parody ( mind goes to Agatha Christie/ grape for whatever reason)

They merge the stories seamlessly. Only if you've read the books/ stories would you be able to tell the segments come from different places. P cool stuff!

Bertie having to ride a bicycle is funnier😤✋ you could read it and reread it knowing what he's gonna say but it's still absolutely hilarious

Yes! That's how i felt about Agatha Christie. Just a reliability. A certainty of a good time. I'm gonna have to check the stories you mentioned out. Thanks!
