P.G. Wodehouse is, in my mind, one of the finest writers of the 20th century. If had wrote about the Tragedy of the Human Soul, instead of light comedies, he would be on the Mount Rushmore of writers.

His prose really is that good. It is almost scary how perfect it is. And he's very, very funny and never lets up.

Absolutely. And his ability to generate original metaphors is fantastic. And i just love the characters and settings. Everything is just so comfy.

There are two series which are my favorites. The Jeeves series and the Psmith series.

The Jeeves series is very comedic slice-of-life. I recommend the two short story collection: Carry On, Jeeves and Very Good, Jeeves. The stories should only take 30 minutes to read, so try a few and see if you like them.

The second series is the Psmith series. Psmith, the character, could be best described as an upper-class social anarchist. Comedically, of course. I think the best novel is Psmith in the City. It is the second of a series of four novels, but their stories are only loosely connected, so you do not lose anything by not reading the first.

Thanks fren. I'll reed sum and get back to you. I mostly hung out on /his/ and discussed /his/ on /lit/ so I'm basically retarded when it comes to fiction outside of the shit they made me read in school.

And everyone usually starts at the same place. That is why places like /lit/ are so valuable for advice.
