antic hay and murder on the links are both good not bad. decent argument for antic hay being quite groundbreaking at the time and being one of the better things ahuxley wrote.

Is Antic Hay the one where two guys are talking while one of them scratches a hog's back with a rake or something and the hog is grunting and one of the guys says he wishes he could feel that kind of pleasure? Good moment; the only thing I remember about whichever book it was alas (read it in late 70s, v relatable apparently or wouldn't have retained that much).

Wodehouse triumphant at last! Glad I didn't include The Inimitable Jeeves, would've split the vote (more of a short story collection anyway).

There were some interesting ideas in teh Crowley taht I remember. Like the manifestation in this plane of ponly one onion skin like layer of something deific. Stuck in my head since my mid teens.
