6th September
P. G Wodehouse. An homourist who wrote in a unique fashion. He created some of the 20th centuries great comic characters and viewed the world through a kindly rose tinted Wodehousian way.
13th September
Raymond Chandler. A highly literate outsider who used his ironic vantage on American culture to transform hard-boiled fiction. His most famous character Philip Marlow embodied the image of the noble but world weary Private Detective
20th September
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Created the world famous Master detective Sherlock Holmes
27th September
G.K. Chesterton. A Traditionalist with a kind of other worldliness gave us the very original Father Brown detective stories
4th October
George MacDonald Frazer. Possibly the most enjoyable way to read up on 19th century history is to read through the rollicking adventures of harry Flashman as he takes his adventures from the Civil war in the USA to the Boxer rebellion in China and all points in between
11th October
George Orwell. Wrote two of the most important books of the 20th century - 1984 and Animal Farm. Both hugely influential when first written and a sobering read today
18th October
Evelyn Waugh. Clive James, ,the literary critic stated "Nobody ever wrote a more unaffectedly elegant English . . . its hundreds of years of steady development culminate in him".
25th October
T.S. Eliot. A poet who wrote the magnificent extended poem The wasteland
