I do think of Wodehouse as scripture, and I'll tell you, reading Wodehouse will unquestionably make you a better person. He's better than Marcus Aurelius and Dale Carnegie rolled into one, and a lot funnier. If you haven't read "The Clicking of Cuthbert," it's short and good.
Yeah, if you want to have any success in your endeavor to find God, it matters what you read, a lot. For example, Eliot's use of imagery, that's what you want in verse, something that evokes a mental image in a few well-chosen words. And, I don't know about reading everything electronically. I've had a few Kindles, but back before Amazon took out all the used bookstores, I frequented them a lot, you could pick up a few things cheap and learn something totally unexpected. It would be great if we could still have used bookstores like we did, Amazon is convenient but there's a lot to be said for putting in the effort, only those who seek will find.
