Next up, a short story collection. <i>"Wodehouse on Crime."</i><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=ksmith&ditemid=2153244" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://ksmith.dreamwidth.org/2153244.html pg wodehouse books discworld tired public 2
