When at the second-worst Barnes and Noble in the world this afternoon, at the Southpoint Mall in Durham, I picked up Jeeves in the Morning, having heard great things about Wodehouse by people such as Hitchens. I wasn't sure which one to start with, but they all looked somewhat self-contained, so I picked the cheapest one.

Anybody here a Wodehouse fan? Any recommendations?

Oddly enough, "Joy in the Morning" is one of the very finest B&J; if you don't like that, you won't like anything else.  "Uncle Fred in the Springtime" is also superb, as are some of the golf story collections.

And being 'dated' is part of the charm.

Perhaps you can tell I'm a fan?  :)
