Wodehouse in the house

Someone on a blog I was reading quoted one sentence of PG Wodehouse, and as always happens, I LOLled. Is there now or has there ever been another writer who so consistently has that effect on people?

The someone was John Baker, who maintains a writing blog that's well worth keeping an eye on. What I like best about him is his cat-burglar approach: he's in and out in a matter of minutes, and before you know what's hit you, your mind has been rifled -- or something. That metaphor may require some work. As it happens, a recent post is on metaphor and simile, where he quotes John Cooper Clarke and Alexei Sayle. You have to admire a man with a frame of reference like that.

My point was, too many bloggers go on for too long, probably because they have no editor within or without. And now I'm in danger of infringing my own law.
