I'll probably read the Wodehouse bio whether or not it wins, since I like Wodehouse and my library has the book. Would be happy to read any of the books nominated---they all look good.
The Wodehouse is sadly not on kindle in the UK. If it wins, I will pickup a copy. However, if (as I hope!) the Go-Between wins the fiction poll, I will probably only have time to read that one.
Great news Barbara, maybe a hot read?The Go-Between is brilliant - one of my all time faves
I have ordered the book, so, if I have time, then I will join a hot read. If not, I will read it later. Les Parisiennes is very good too, but I have already read that one.
Huzzah, wonderful news - better get a copy myself then :-)
I ordered a hardback for £2.80 including postage, which I thought was pretty good value :)
A snip Susan. Well done. There's a copy in my library service, albeit not at my local branch, so a cycle ride away if I want to avoid paying the £1 to get them to deliver it to my nearest branch (only 3-4 mins from my front door).

'Wodehouse: A Life' by Robert McCrum
An affectionate portrait of the prolific twentieth-century comic writer (1881-1975) discusses his creation of such characters as Jeeves, Psmith, and the Empress of Blandings; describes his contributions to Broadway and the London stage; details his internment in Germany during WW II; and moves on to his life in Southampton, NY.
