I’m a big fan of P.G.Wodehouse but his books, at least in print, are generally not in the local library. What with this new-fangled technology and all \ud83d\ude42 I’ve been able to get an audiobook of his on my phone. The next time I decide to write an ode, it will be in praise of Overdrive, and it’s app. You can connect to the library directly, no messing around with a PC, and download the mp3 to the phone.<\/p>\n

This was the first audiobook I got for the phone, and it’s kind of opened the gateway – I’ll be getting many more now. The uses are many; I listen to them on my way to and from work, and then there is added motivation to take a walk. Android won’t play the WMA books, so some of the Overdrive catalog is unavailable to me; you can apparently get it on the PC and convert the file for use on an Android phone, but that sounds like too much work.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the book was very good. I adore Wodehouse’s turn of phrase; people “blow in” and “shimmy about”. The characters are good-hearted buffoons of the first order – in this book there’s Bertie Wooster and a number of his similarly quirky friends. Then of course, there is Jeeves to save the day. The narrator Frederick Davidson was fantastic; he made the book better with his style of narration, and I will be looking for other books that he has narrated. The audio recording was 6 hours long, and downloaded to the phone in 6 parts or so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
