Sinossi

In "Right Ho, Jeeves," P. G. Wodehouse delivers a masterful blend of wit, comedic brilliance, and social satire set within the lush landscape of early 20th-century British society. This modern classic is characterized by Wodehouse's intricate plotting and his signature narrative style, rich in humorous dialogue and absurd scenarios. The novel follows the misadventures of the bumbling Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves, as they navigate the complications of love, friendship, and social expectations amidst the backdrop of country-house antics and upper-class idiosyncrasies. Through Bertie's hapless escapades, Wodehouse critiques the British class system, illuminating the absurdities of his era with a lighthearted touch. P. G. Wodehouse, often hailed as one of the greatest comic writers of the 20th century, had a unique perspective drawn from his own experiences navigating the British upper crust. His deep understanding of human nature, combined with a keen observation of societal norms, informs the characters and situations that populate his works. Notably, Wodehouse's vivid characterizations of Jeeves and Wooster have since become archetypes in literary humor, cementing his legacy as a pioneer of comedic fiction. Readers seeking an escape into a world replete with charm and hilarity will find "Right Ho, Jeeves" irresistibly engaging. Its timeless humor and sharp social commentary resonate even today, making it a must-read for fans of classic literature, comedy, and those who appreciate the absurdities of life. Immerse yourself in Wodehouse's world, and allow the delightful banter and clever plots to whisk you away into a realm of pure enjoyment.

All Shook Up - Irreverently...

Trebor Blanc

Tommy West is the finest Elvis Presley tribute in the North West of England. At least, that’s what is says on his van. 
Off stage however, his life is a mess. He can’t pay his rent, his child maintenance is crippling him, and his old Bedford needs new tyres. Tommy is broke, drinks too much Guinness, smokes too much weed and is frightened of his own shadow. 
So, as Tommy is such a delicate soul, you may ask why, on the first day of lockdown, he finds himself on his way to Folkstone in a borrowed fruit and veg van in the company of a psychotic Rangers fan, a sex starved blonde, a cross dressing navigator and an Afghan slave? 
Why indeed? 
All Shook Up is an irreverent look at modern life and pokes a rather sharp stick at political correctness in all its forms.

Leah's Submission: A Timid...

J.C. Cummings

When shy freshman Leah Keller arrives at a pool party hosted by the dean of her college, wearing her first-ever bikini, she’s already flustered to the hilt. After all, the dean and many of her classmates can now see about eighty percent of her toned, nubile body.

But that’s nothing compared with the degree of humiliation she must endure after suffering a minor injury when diving into the pool. The dean’s son, Noah, is a pre-med student. He’ll know what to do.

Oh, he knows what to do, all right! He knows that, in order to perform a proper examination on this cute, shivering honey, that bikini is going to have to come off—right out on the patio where the light is better (and where everyone is looking on). And he’s going to have to examine her very thoroughly!

How thoroughly?

So thoroughly that Leah is humiliated beyond her wildest nightmares!

So thoroughly that Noah is aroused beyond his wildest dreams!

So thoroughly that, after Leah’s exam from hell, when she is taking a much-needed shower, Noah just might have to make her shower…extra special. Of course, that means he’ll have to help her get “extra clean.”

And that means he’ll have to get “extra dirty”!

Fans of medical humiliation stories featuring cute little college freshmen and the fresh young men who embarrass the living daylights out of them, this one is for you! It will be just the thing to help make your summer extra hot!

Innocence and embarrassment to the hilt!

Greetings, dear readers! Welcome to my newest and naughtiest series: “Innocent College Girls Humiliated”! In this sleazy set, one sweet, naïve young lady after another is taken to the outer limits of embarrassment by unscrupulous males, young and old alike. Men who happen to think that, ahem, red cheeks look kinda lovely on a girl—especially if they themselves have a hand in making them that way!

The Story of a Common Soldier of...

Leander Stillwell

Leander Stillwell was an 18-year-old Illinois farm boy, living with his family in a log cabin, when the U.S. Civil War broke out. Stillwell felt a duty "to help save the Nation;" but, as with many other young men, his Patriotism was tinged with bravura: "the idea of staying at home and turning over senseless clods on the farm with the cannon thundering so close at hand . . . was simply intolerable." Stillwell volunteered for the 61st Illinois Infantry in January 1861. His youthful enthusiasm for the soldier's life was soon tempered at Shiloh, where he first "saw a gun fired in anger," and "saw a man die a violent death."Stillwell's recounting of events is always vivid, personal, and engrossing. "I distinctly remember my first shot at Shiloh . . . The fronts of both lines were . . . shrouded in smoke. I had my gun at a ready, and was trying to peer under the smoke in order to get a sight of our enemies. Suddenly I heard someone in a highly excited tone calling to me from just in my rear, --'Stillwell! Shoot! Shoot! Why don't you shoot?' I looked around and saw that this command was being given by . . . our second lieutenant, who was wild with excitement, jumping up and down like a hen on a hot griddle. 'Why, lieutenant,' I said, 'I can't see anything to shoot at.' 'Shoot, shoot, anyhow!' 'All right,' I responded. . . And bringing my gun to my shoulder, I aimed low in the direction of the enemy, and blazed away through the smoke. But at the time the idea to me was ridiculous that one should blindly shoot into a cloud of smoke without having a bead on the object to be shot at."The Story of a Common Soldier is a compelling coming of age tale that will appeal not only to Civil War buffs but to anyone who enjoys autobiographies. Written at the urging of his youngest son, when Stillwell was a mature man--a lawyer, judge, and member of the Kansas legislature, it combines graphic detail (provided by his war diary and letters written at the time to his family) with the insights of a thoughtful man looking back on those horrific times.(Summary by Sue Anderson)
