Series: Jeeves
by Author P.G. Wodehouse
Plum Pie (2008)
P G Wodehouse managed to gain the nickname ‘Plum’ at some point in his career and so this collection of short stories, sequenced with what would have been topical asides in 1966, was christened ‘Plum Pie’ and a more tart collection we couldn’t hope for.The pedigree of the collection is stated on ...
Aunts Aren't Gentlemen (1977)
Aunts aren’t gentlemenI think it is really important to have someone, a writer someone obviously, that you can turn to when the world is getting a bit out of hand. For me that someone is Mr Wodehouse and in particular his Jeeves and Wooster novels. It is hard to explain just how much I enjoy th...
Joy in the Morning (2011)
Bertie, ( Mr.Bertram Wooster), the victim, is enjoying quiet days in his London flat, a man about town, but not for long though, trouble appears above the horizon, always does, he can smell it. Informed by his butler Jeeves, the magnificent, that Zenobia, the delightful, a charm...
Very Good, Jeeves! (2011)
1987 - I was twenty-five years old and holed up in the intensive care unit at the National Neurological Hospital in London, stricken from head to toe with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Symptoms: total paralysis. Prognosis: uncertain.Guillain Barré Syndrome is a bizarre illness. It attacks the myelin s...
Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit (2002)
I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoy these books. If there is one problem, it is that I’m reading them out of order – but that is hard to avoid. The problem is that they seem to have been out of print for ages and trying to find them in second hand bookshops is also remarkably difficult. ...
Tack, Jeeves! (1934)
For some reason I always feel like the main characters in Wodehouse's novels talk really energetically to the point of being stressful (this being the only one I've read, but am also half-way through 'Big Money').I do like his books, they actually make me laugh out loud at times and his language ...
Grazie, Jeeves (1934)
Started to listen to this, but couldn't deal with the repeated use of the n-word in referencing a musical group. Figured there would be more uses of the word as the book went on as it seemed Bertie was excited about them, but I just couldn't take it. Wondered how the audio book reader managed to ...
Jeeves and the Wedding Bells (2013)
As many of you know, I **adore** PG Wodehouse, and the Jeeves books in specific. These are stories that make me laugh out loud, sometimes so much so that I have to put down the book, giggling myself silly, then slowly recover and resume. To be frank, only "Calvin and Hobbes" and David Sedaris h...
Thank You, Jeeves (1934)
“This, I felt, must mean something. Nobody would say Marmaduke was a beautiful name wantonly and without good reason" (33-34)."'He is inquiring after Miss Stoker's whereabouts.'"'Well, of course, there's always that old one about them being at the wash, but this seemed neither the time nor the pl...
The Inimitable Jeeves (1923)
Not my favorite book because Bingo Little's issues of the heart became too much real fast. I think my least favorite short story in this collection was the one with all the bucolic contests. That one was way too long and boring. My favorite part was definitely the story where Bertie had to underg...
The Code of the Woosters (1938)
Not really my cup of tea, and so all these years I've resisted reading Wodehouse's novels about a sublimely frivolous young man aided and abetted by his erudite, astute and always excruciatingly correct valet. However, I finally gave in and read this highly recommended title, and I have to admit ...
Right Ho, Jeeves (1934)
This novel is the transitional fossil of comic novels. In its plot you can trace its genes all the way to the ancient Greeks, its mistaken identities and botched schemes; in its prose you see traits expressing themselves, quotations and elegant allusions to every poet and playwright in the canon,...
