Fry played Jeeves in the TV series Jeeves and Wooster and quotes some of my favorite bits of Wodehouse, such as
> Unlike the male codfish, which, suddenly finding itself the parent of three million five hundred thousand little codfish, cheerfully resolves to love them all, the British aristocracy is apt to look with a somewhat jaundiced eye on its younger sons.
"For there was no doubt in his mind that in a world congested to overflowing with girls Eve Halliday stood entirely alone."
(One of the Uncle Fred novels, read long ago.)
“Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French.”

If anyone has other recommendations, would be much obliged.
Another recommendation is Howl's Moving Castle (has two follow ups, which are okayish)
you've read Mistborn, are you aware of Cosmere - https://www.reddit.com/r/cosmere/wiki/order
Hugh Howey's Wool series was a lot of fun to read.
I also have enjoyed all of Daniel Suarez' books, especially Daemon.
Ann Lecke's "Ancillary*" trilogy was in a similar vein.
Pierce Brown's "Red Rising" series is also recommended.
Really enjoyed the Bobiverse series: http://dennisetaylor.org/. Reminded me a little of Greg Egan, but with a lot less maths and a lot more humour. Helps that the hero is a programmer ;_)
Also the Brilliance trilogy by Markus Sakey. Very entertaining..
Yes. By keeping the world at arm's length he was able to make it a better world.

I'll probably never get why people are constantly struggling to get serving static text (with a few images) right.
