Carry On, Jeeves
PG Wodehouse

Excellent. I first found Wooster and Jeeves because I have always liked the Frey and Laurie comedy team. To actually read the Wodehouse Wooster and Jeeves is wonderful. It shows just how well Frey and Laurie did with their adaptations. Wodehouse has a sharp, quick wit that keeps the story moving. The character Bertie Wooster and his gentleman’s personal gentleman, Jeeves, find themselves in many nearly unbelievable predicaments. You never really know what Bertie is going to do and you never really know how Jeeves will get him out of trouble. All you know is that it will happen. Half of this book I happened to have already read in Enter Jeeves: 15 Early Stories. I fully intend on reading more of Wodehouse.
