In the end, there can be only one.

Really, this week has been an exercise in bragging more than anything else. It's not like I actually needed to count any of those other authors to see if they were at the top, because even a casual glance at my shelves reveals the answer. He's the greatest master of prose in the 20th century, a man who makes his writing light and airy and yet it takes a lot of talent and work to make something look so easy. Not only that, but he was prolific as well, writing nigh unto 100 books. Which means I have about 25 more to collect. In first place, going away in a walk, is PG Wodehouse, of whose books I have 76 (including two copies of Frozen Assets/Biffen's Millions).

 I'm collecting a unified set of all the Wodehouse books as they are published by Overlook Press. There are another couple that were published in April that I need to pick up and there will be a couple more in August that were recently announced. At the current pace of publication, it will be another 4 or 5 years before I round out my collection completely, but it's well worth the wait.
