My go-to writer in bad times and good times and all the times in between. If you love witty humour, try it. Or start with the TV show with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (although there are so many funny things in those stories that can’t be done on screen)
I do quite enjoy Wodehouse for Jeeves and Wooster and Blandings although one unemployed summer spent a lot of time binge reading them and they become quite repetitive!
Wodehouse was criticised for repetition very early on.
In the introduction to “Summer Lightning” he wrote…
“A CERTAIN CRITIC – for such men, I regret to say, do exist – made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained ‘all the old Wodehouse characters under different names’. He has probably by now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled the man this time by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy.”
I mean that shows the self-awareness that he knew that that was part of the humour really!
Summer Lightning was one of my favourites. You can’t go wrong with that one.
I’d agree that you can’t binge on them - best to just read one in between longer books.
