  My favorite collection is the "The Golf Omnibus" aside from all the Bertie Wooster books themselves.

    Even years after reading the story, reminiscing "The Great Sermon Handicap" lightens my day.

  Yes. Despite having a shared language, many U.K. books are not widely read in the U.S. Authors like P.G. Wodehouse and Georgette Heyer are considered a bit niche in the U.S. Others: - Enid Blyton's children books - Five Find Outers, Secret Seven, Malory Towers etc. - C.S. Forester - Horatio Hornblower series Non-English authors: - Georges Simenon - Inspector Maigret series (French detective genre) - Sigrid Undset - Kristin Lavransdatter (Scandinavian) Some foreign authors whose popularity is rising in the U.S. at the moment - Elena Ferrante (Italian) - Karl Ove Knausgaard (Norwegian) On a related note, Wikipedia has a more comprehensive list of best-selling world authors [1]. Ironically many of top writers in the English language aren't widely read in America.
