Wooster and Jeeves and Plato? The book selections you send are certainly eclectic, but much appreciated.

As you know by now, books are highly prized around here, and, with your help, I have become a mini-library for my unit of 130 inmates. After we are done reading them, they end up being donated to the prison library! So the books will be well used.

OK, so maybe some have a more limited appeal, for example, The Works of Plato?

Well, I do get a kick out of the forced but yet random nature of the selections.

Then again, we have the ever-popular Gross Jokes book!

One of the books you sent me was Wooster and Jeeves. The Wooster and Jeeves book is very different from the usual US produced pop novel to be sure.

Have you ever seen the Wooster and Jeeves show on PBS? It was a British sitcom that PBS imported. It was a favorite of mine! Did you know there are several episodes of it on BBC/PBS videos? Before my arrest, I bought the complete series along with the complete set of Fawlty Towers videos with John Cleese!

I think you would probably enjoy the Wooster and Jeeves videos, and then when reading the books, it is real easy to get a picture of the characters. Having never been to England, it is hard to truly picture a lot of their mannerisms!

So Wooster and Jeeves (or is it Jeeves and Wooster?) was a great selection.

I know you said you did not open the box of books I sent you. I do wish you would give the Dancing Corn Dogs book a look. It is a pretty accurate account of some of the issues I have been dealing with. Hey, the writer turns out to be a pastor’s kid too, so please try to find the time to look at it.

Other than that, things are moving along here.
