Tom Sharpe - The Throwback: Classic or Dud?

Is this the one with the wonderfully named PORG (Person of Restricted Growth) Willy Coppit? Maybe thats Ancestral Vices. All a bit formulaic, but I have fond memories of these books making me snigger loudly in public places, like Viz used to do when it was funny

No, it's not. It's the one where Lockhart Flawse tries to get his inheritance by increasingly brutal and ingenious tricks.

Is that the one where there is a village in the cumbrian moors called Black Pockrington? That made me laugh, because Cumbrian villages do tend to have names like that. IIRC "Wilt" is the best one (despite bloody awful philm pheaturing mel smith & gryph rees-jones hey big suprise! smith + R-Jones = sux0r!) but have not read any of his books for ages & ages.

Read through "Wilt" and "The Great Pursuit" over the past coupla days. The former - the first Sharpe I'd ever read - had me shaking, rattling and rolling like mad, laffing my arse off, with tears flooding my eyes (from all the shaking and laffing, obviously). And my daughter, judging by her suspicious look, doubting the remains of my sanity.
The latter didn't have quite the same effect on me. But was a very enjoyable read nevertheless.
And now I got "Riotous Assembly" and "Blott on the Lanscape" awaiting on the shelf...

God I hate Sharpe.
