Articulate and affecting... There is a hard core of ambition and self-belief that has helped him to thrive, without spoiling his unfledged charm when viewed among seasoned professionals

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

Compulsory reading for anyone who has a pig, an aunt - or a sense of humour!

I've recorded all the Jeeves books, and I can tell you this: it's like singing Mozart. The perfection of the phrasing is a physical pleasure. I doubt if any writer in the English language has more perfect music

P.G. Wodehouse is the gold standard of English wit

For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day

Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists

It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him

Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already

The greatest comic writer ever

To pick up a Wodehouse novel is to find oneself in the presence of genius - no writer has ever given me so much pure enjoyment

P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

My only problem with Wodehouse is deciding which of his enchanting books to take to my desert island

P.G. Wodehouse should be prescribed to treat depression. Cheaper, more effective than valium and far, far more addictive

Quite simply, the master of comic writing at work

I constantly find myself drooling with admiration at the sublime way Wodehouse plays with the English language

Wodehouse was quite simply the Bee's Knees. And then some

Wodehouse is so utterly, properly, simply funny

To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language

A genius ... Elusive, delicate but lasting

You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour

Fascinating...it covers most levels of Wiggins existence – cyclist, team leader, husband, father, son – during the most important years of his life, with the candour that has become his trademark...co-written by Guardian sports writer, William Fotheringham, who helps to tell the story in the direct but eloquent tone that Wiggins watchers will recognise countless radio and television interviews. It is an absorbing read that covers Wiggins’ career from his departure from Garmin to his latest Olympic success. Cycling fans will relish the horse’s mouth accounts of the triumphs they have watched unfold this year, while newcomers to the sport, attracted by the man’s performances this year, both on and off the bike, should find more to enjoy

If you love cycling, this makes a very welcome change from the rather saturated market of ‘cyclist doping confessions'

What makes the book special for me is the love of cycling that comes through. His passion for the sport, for its history, his awareness of where he stands in the pantheon of Lycra-clad heroes, and his inability to truly comprehend his achievements all come across in waves. And in typical Wiggins fashion, he doesn’t dodge the difficult bits. He talks openly about the latest drugs scandal and the unwelcome role of moral enforcer which has been forced onto him by his newfound standing as Tour winner

A speedy guide to cycling success

Like the man, it’s engaging, modest and likeable, with the section on the Olympics especially fascinating

An album of fascinating snapshots of Hemingway

Paul Hendrickson writes with a great deal of passion…

A terrific and fresh approach to the man
