Cris’s Book and Blog Reviews

Another funny blogger.
And another funny post. Yes yes I am biased. But humor is my line. I cant help it!
Here is this blogger’s recipe on how to boil water. I loved step 5.

I reached there from another blogger’s post. Found it absolutely hilarious and thought I will share it here. It is not nice to laugh at the misery of others, but the way he has written about a few failed marriage proposals was too good. Great language, and absolutely great humor. The links are these - link1, link2, link3 and link4

Another short Wodehouse done. “Do Butlers Burgle Banks?”
This was a 158-er. Hehe page counting is the first task I perform on getting any book. Typical Wodehouse, with some burglary stuffed into it. Not that it’s anything unusual, Wodehouse characters have always been in the habit of pinching things. Here though burglary comes in the form of a butler. And butlers in Wodehouse novels are imperative.

Hero here, is Horace Appleby, the man who can be a charming butler when he is not plotting house breaks. Horace finds his new target at Bond’s bank and conveniently slips into the Bond household to enter his new role as the efficient butler of the house. And he is proud of his butlery skills.

Read a P G Wodehouse. Small one. Bachelors Anonymous. It is a small package in 139 pages, which was what made its way into my hands. Small books have that kind of attraction with me.

Going into the book, there was something I missed here. From the usual Wodehouse books I mean. There was no butler to set things right, which was made a mess by a young bachelor. There was no older guy who formed the thick and thin of it all, after being exceedingly trouble-seeking for his age.

This time it is about one particular post rather than the whole blog. It is one of the blogs I frequent cause I love the way she writes it.

This is about this post she made titled God. Really appealing. I am agnostic in my religous feelings, but I could appreciate the sentiments of friendship and love rising above everything else in the post and it seemed to be at the right time, with India’s 62nd independence day coming and going.
