P.J. Fitzsimmons answered ShanDizzy 's question: More please? It is common practice for me to binge read PD Wodehouse after surviving tax season. Now, it's Anty Boisjoly to the rescue! Thank you SO MUCH for writing these entertaining and absolutely HILARIOUS stories. I made the mistake of taking The Case of the Case of Kilcladdich to read at a doctor's appointment. Every other paragraph was laugh-out-loud funny. I received many dramatic stares. Well worth it though. Thank you very, very much Shan. Life has its ups and downs 鈥� doctor鈥檚 appointments and tax deadlines 鈥� I鈥檓 very flattered to number among the ups with Wodehouse. More is imminent 鈥� today I began the third and final act of Anty Boisjoly number ten, The See Full Answer
