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.
