  This news group has been awfully quiet as of late...

  Anyone in the mood for some lightweight summer reading?

  You could try something by Thorne Smith.  He did Topper, The Stray Lamb,
  Turnabout, Rain in the Doorway, Did She Fall? and so on.

  Most of these are fantasies of some sort of another, following the basic
  pattern of staid incredibly normal businessman is jolted out of his
  conformist routine by some odd phenomena, usually with the aid of 
  an attractive and uninhibited young lady.

  The books were written somewhere around 1935 (at a guess).  Reasonably 
  good fun.


  About the same era, P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves books make for a reasonably
  well-spent evening.  


  These authors be taken in fairly small doses.
