This is a collection of eight short stories -- half of them starring Jeeves and Wooster, the other half featuring Reggie Pepper (who is basically Wooster without Jeeves). Like the rest of the books featuring Jeeves and Wooster, this is frequently hailed as a comedic classic, a masterpiece, and has n...

This is a collection of short stories, mostly featuring Jeeves and Wooster in America but with a few of Wodehouse's other, older stories thrown in. My favourite story (Helping Freddie) features the scene where the two bachelors are taking care of a young child (there's a story behind that as well) a...

When I was a freshman in college, a professor assigned Right Ho, Jeeves as our last book of the semester for a class on 20th Century Fiction. I'd never heard of the series, though clearly it's had a big influence on depictions of butlers/valets and hapless masters (among other things) in popular cul...

A month is an unusually long time for me to take on a book, but this was just the perfect palate cleanser between other books. Finish something-or-other, not sure what I want to read next, or not ready to start something just before bed, or I don't have another book in my work bag (well, except for ...
A Scottish-Canadian Blethering On About Books
I downloaded a number of P.G. Wodehouse items free for kindle, and this, the first I've read, is also a very early item chronologically from the looks of it. (The absence of real upfront bibliographical information in some of these scans continues to bother me). Anyway, I acquired this for chuckles ...

Hugh Laurie states the case admirably "The first thing you should know, and probably the last, too, is that PG Wodehouse is still the funniest writer ever to have put words on paper." I couldn't agree more. "I'm not absolutely certain of my facts, but I rather fancy it's Shakespeare-or, if not, i...

My Man Jeeves is comprised of eight short stories. Four of them feature Jeeves, four do not. All of the stories were entertaining, but I liked the once that featured Jeeves much better, and I wish the whole book had contained stories in which he was a character. This collection reminded me of Bl...

Funny stories, I enjoyed Bertie's more than Reggie's, but both POV were very comical. I liked especially the trust Bertie has in Jeeves, even though some of this schemes turn out to be a failure. And how Jeeves can manipulate Bertie
Posh Dresses, Hot Men and Heaving Bosoms
I was really hoping that I would enjoy reading this compilation of Jeeves stories, unfortunately I didn't realise that half of the stories didn't feature them :(
