I also started on
the last book by P.G. Wodehouse featuring the character Jeeves. Once I
finish it, I'll have read all of Wodehouse's
Jeeves stories .
Finding all of the books has been something of a challenge, but it was
well worth it. Wodehouse was a genius of reserved English comedy, and I
feel really lucky to have accidentally stumbled across his work. This
is great stuff.
